Care to elaborate on this comment? I'm confused!


And yes, the 3.0l HPFP timing needs to be set.

Pro'ly applies more to the injector wiring?

The 3L codes each injector to the ECU in each slot for optimum fuel efficiency. That said, it won’t stop it starting if the wrong coded ones are in the wrong spot etc. It may just not run as smoothly as expected.

Im sure someone with more knowledge of the 3.0 ltr engine will clarify if im correct about the hpfp needing to be timed.

Good luck with it..

Cheers Bulletman

Yes it needs to be timed, and it was timed correctly and confirmed to be functioning properly

That’s heartbreaking because that was my last hope … is there anything else I could check ? I just want to get it started to run on its own instead of running on starter fluid

What fuel pressure do you have whilst it’s cranking? If it’s not high enough it won’t fire.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback, so here is an update, the fuel pressure is spot on to spec, the only issue now is the Crank Position Sensor. It may be a faulty sensor, or the shop that has it says that the Crank Position Sensor has to be “Indexed” which as I understand is gapping like spark plugs. Can someone comment if that is a real thing that can cause it not to start, incorrect crank position sensor gapping ? Does The transmission have to be dropped to correctly index it ? Thanks for the input

*whomever rebuilt the engine did they fit the crankshaft tone ring in the correct spot?
*when setting the tone ring, you follow the fitting instructions in the workshop manual.
*the crankshaft sensor has a small retaining bolt, it can only go in a set position.
*to fit the tone ring you need to drop the auto.
*the sensor with enough other bits removed, front diff dropped down etc, can be removed/replaced without dropping the transmission.
*the HPFP while it is timed, wont stop it running or starting if the timing on it is out.
*injectors dont need to go back in the same spot.
