Td5 won't rev 

I have just replaced the injector harness on my 2004 Td5 due to oil etc.as I had had this happen a month before and felt it was inevitable. A small amount of oil had reached the ECU which I cleaned out with contact cleaner. The symptoms experienced before the change, ie jerking, missing etc. did not clear this time. The engine seems fine up to 2500 but will not rev to 3000. If revved hard for 5-10 secs., a small amount of blue-ish smoke is seen then clears. There is no smoking at all at idle and up to 2500. I have cleaned MAP and MAF, turbo purrs and wastegate moves easily. The engine has is rough when going up hill with very little power. Could it be fuel pump related,as I do not hear anything from it? Is there also a fuel transfer pump on Td5s? or could this be ECU related due to cleaning out oil ? Has anyone experienced similar symptoms and what else should I be looking into?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Td5 won't rev 

 Hi Skillie

Having a bad run !

The fuel pump for the TD5 is a high pressure unit and it is located in the fuel tank. With the Defender the tank has to be dropped to get at it , or a hole cut in the floor of the car...

There is no other fuel pump.

It could be the fuel pump - but not very likely - normally threy are noisy before giving up the ghost.

Does your car have an EGR  - it was discontinued round about 2004. The EGR will cause hassles at some stage.

Try diconnecting the MAF plug (situated just after the air cleaner box) - the TD5 often does better without a MAF signal...

Where do live ? If anywhere near Tokai you can call and I will run a diagnostic check for you - can sometimes highlight the problem immediately.
