Fault Code

[coastline taxis]

citroen xantia Now i knoe it in the wrong section but its got the hdi engine in it so thought this would get answered better in heat.

Any way prime the pump up by turning key on and off 6 times and car fires up and runs for 30 seconds then dies. it then refuses to start no matter what you do till you prime it another 6 times.

 

Anyway plugged it in and got low rail pressure and p1135 udocumented not to bothered about the rail pressure as thats probally a result pf p1135. Anyway cant seem to get anywhere with p1135 so anybody got any ideas what it is. Just upgaded scanner to a solus and that dosnt say what the code is either

been told that the car has already had the intank pump and injectors replaced but hasnt cured it the history of the fault was engine light coming on but was ignored as it would go off and on but still run but then car just stopped and wouldnt start

Hi Steve,

 

Have you checked this site?

 

PSA Fault codes

 

It says P1135 Pedal position sensor circuit A Intermittent

 

I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Done a leak off test and when it happens theres no fuel to the injectors so the fault has to be on the fuel side. some kind of pressure problem

Have you checked the lift pump in the tank? Strainer could be clogged or the pump failed.

 

When you turn the ignition on it should run for a few seconds then stop.

 

If you can disconnect the fuel line from the filter and get someone to hold a container under the detached fuel line while you turn the key there should be a spurt of fuel, only for a few seconds as it cuts out if the engine isn't running.

 

Check for power to the in-tank pump, if none then it is likely a fuse gone or a stuck relay, or possibly the safety trip that isolates the fuel supply in the event of a crash.

 

Don't know where it is located in the Xantia but it is a box about the size of two ten-packs of fags stuck together, either metal or plastic with a rubber domed button on the top, push the button to reset it.
