Hi all.
In a bit of a conundrum with my car. Vauxhall Zafira 2.2.
Fault codes- p1191, p0303, p0304.
Six months ago high pressure fuel pump failed, had it repaired and everything run fine since. Last week, spanner light came on, then that went off and the engine light came on and car went into limp mode. Car lost so much power in the end it wasn’t drivable and had to be towed to the garage. Oh and fuel came out the exhaust pipe. RAC tried new spark plugs it made no difference.
Garage thinks it’s the high pressure fuel pump, we put a secondhand replacement in which also didn’t work. The guy that sold me the secondhand pump stakes his life that it works. So, is the problem the pump and I’m unlucky that both pumps are broken, or is it’s something else? I understand the fuel pressure regulator is also a big problem, could it be that and it’s making it seem like the pumps aren’t working? Or could it be a fuse?
Other suggestions people have put forward it faulty coil pack and injectors.
Car is so lacking in power it’s not at all drive-able.
Very limited funds to get this fixed so don’t want to buy yet another pump only for that to not be the answer!
I know very little about cars, but any thoughts much appreciated before speaking to the garage tomorrow!
