Hi again,
I posted a "206 woes" thread just after xmas and the saga continues. I have a 206 gti rfr motor. When cold it has been taking about 3 stalls before starting for a while now. The car seems ok around town but on country trips i have trouble. The car has misfired a bit on two occasions lately but with no engine light showing. Mostly however the engine runs smoothly with a big reduction in power and it shows a engine management light. I got the ecu read and it came up with a po170 fault code - generic fuel injection code (no specific cylinder number). After that all was ok and i tried to tell myself it was a bad batch of fuel. I put some injector cleaner in and gave it a recommended "Italian tune up" - 6000rpm uphill in 3rd gear quite happily. Today i tried a country drive again and the engine management light came on again in 5th gear at about 90kmh - the car would not sustain 90kmh up a steep hill in any gear (it usually eats it!).
Once i was home again and the car had a rest it was ok to drive and no lights showing. I have had the battery load tested and the plugs and fuel filter have seen about 10,000 kms. When I got home I got some contact cleaner and cleaned the e.c.u. connectors and any others that i could see. The crank sensor connection was very oily and the cam sensor connection had one connection that looked a bit green - but i have a gut feeling that they were all ok. I also took fuel pressure readings on the fuel rail with my old fashioned steel slide type tyre gauge - engine off with ignition on gave 60kpa (8lbs/sq") and engine running 210kpa (31lbs.sq") my e-manual says 3.5bar (is that 350kpa?)
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced a PO 170 fault code and what was the resulting problem?
thanks for any help you might offer??
