S40 (New) Engine 2.0D : Engin does not want to start

[Barend]

Hi there, I recently took my Volvo S40 2D 2006 in for a serice to a 'Volvo Spesialist' 2 weeks later I had to tow away the car from his workshop, as it didn't want to start. I did some testting myself and it looks like the is no power to the injectors. I did eventually manage to start the engin, but it sounds like it only runs on about 2 pistons. I did a resistance check on the injetors and get a reading of about 6 on all injectors. I also did a voltage check on the injector plugs with no power.

If anyone can help me with this it will be highly appreciated?

Hang on did it go in with this problem?

Two weeks to do a service?

It went in with a problem that every now and then, that it wanted to stall, so we asked the 'spesialist' to check the problem for us. Then after he did the service the car didn't want to start anymore.

Eventually we just gave up with this guy, as he wanted to replace the injectors, but he could not verify that this was actually the prolem.

He removed the injectors to get it checked, but could not get anyone to check it for him...

He may have put air in the system by disconnecting the injectors and now needs to use a hand priming pump to get the air out. My expiriances of volvo specialists suggests to me that they don't tend to have a great deal of knowledge of these engines.

Like Matt says, chances are they have just got air in the system and now require a hand pump (post filter) to prime the system for you.

Certainly the first thing I'd try.

This was also the first thing that I have tried, but it didn't solve the problem. I managed to get it started and on idling when I remove the plugs from 1&4 injectors, the car immediately stalls. When I remove the plugs on 2&3 injectors there is no change.

The car does not want to rev higher than 1000rpm either

Have you tested your crankshaft sensor?

This is worth checking, but could still be an injector issue, just hoping its not.

Thanks Matt, can you tell me where to find the sensor? The only sensor that I manage to find is if I jack up the car, underneath the engin on the left side (when you stand infront of the car) just behind the bottum pulley, is a sensor that is held inplace with one bolt. Or is it on the gearbox side?
