What causes a Dodge Sprinter to loose power?
I have a 2002 Dodge Sprinter that seems to loose power after it has been driven a few hours, and then it must sit for 10 to 30 minutes before it will start again. It acts like there is either no fuel or the airflow is restricted.
What causes check engine light on sprinter 3500?
The Sprinter should have codes on just about every sensor and very few things can be wrong without a code of some kind… Any ideas on what could be causing the frequent appearance of Check Engine light on my 2006 Sprinter 3500 powered by 5 cyl Mercedes? I’ve put 7,500 miles on the chassis which carries an Itasca Navion Class C motorhome.
Why does my 2002 sprinter not start after second start?
After the second start error, it takes about 4 hours for my 2002 Sprinter to reset itself before I can even try again to start it. I thought maybe the anti-theft system wasn’t reading the chip in the ignition key because its battery was low, but a Sprinter tech told me there is no battery in the key.
Why does my sprinter 3500 die after 15 minutes?
I am Having the same stalling problems with my 03 Sprinter 3500 mostly in the am and when it is wet or damp and temps in the 40s. I could be cruising at 65 and it just dies after running for 15 minutes. It is getting worst and last week it only restarted after about 15 minutes and about 15 tries.
What was the problem with my Dodge Sprinter?
I have two 2003 3500 Dodge Sprinters that I’ve had since new. Both have approxmatly 150K miles on them. The first one developed a loss of power around 125K and the problem was traced to leaking fuel injectors around the seal for the injector and caused replacement of head, all injectors and injector seals. The dealer replaced these items.
When to replace fuel pressure solenoid on sprinter?
If it is and there is leakage, replace the fuel pressure solenoid. The high pressure pump is driven by the camshaft, and requires no timing. Fuel that enters the high pressure pump is pressurized between 200-1600 bar (2,900 – 23,205 psi). The pressurized fuel is then supplied to the fuel rail.
What should fuel pressure be on Sprinter diesel?
When checking the fuel pressure solenoid there should be no fuel coming out the return during cranking, and it should hold 870-1450 psi when unplugged during cranking. If it doesn’t, and the injectors are OK, then the fuel pressure solenoid is bad.
How does the high pressure pump in a sprinter work?
The high pressure pump builds the high pressure and delivers it to the fuel rail manifold, which buffers out pressure fluctuations and distributes fuel to the individual injectors. The fuel quantity valve (fuel control actuator, M-Prop) in the high pressure pump controls pressure output from the pump.
