Hi all I have a 06 corsa 1.3cdti that has seen better days. I'm at my wits end with it, so before I take it to the garage I thought I'd ask you guys to help me.
It has no power
Fuel pressure is at about half
Boost is at 4psi
Smokes a little (black)
Rough idle
Hard to start when hot

It's not the
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pressure sensor
Water temp sensor
Or Turbo
I have checked or replaced these
What else could it be?
Only codes are p1612 p1613

I monitored it using my phone and a obd2 reader. I thing it might be an injector tho because I unplugged one and nothing happened (engine running) but why would this affect fuel pressure. Egr was fine aswell

You say you tried this with "an injector" what about the others?

If it is running that poorly it might not be obvious that pulling one makes a difference.
I have Un plugged the others and as expected it gets really rough.

As above though, fuel pressure radically affects how well the fuel is atomised & could well be you have answered your own question.
He's asking how could a bad injector cause low fuel pressure, not why low pressure causes poor running. It would have to be leaking off a huge amount of fuel to affect the rail pressure so badly, and that would have to be either going into the cylinder or back through the leak off pipe.
"Going into the cylinder" meaning the injector is squirting loads of fuel? This might explain why foot to floor is slower than half throttle

Haven't checked maf or boost pipes. Not sure how to check the maf. Egr is blanked and actuator is free to move
