Code p0191

I switched to a smaller pulley, the car was running fine initially but now it won't cruise. I keep getting huge power loss on and off, it dies than comes back on so hard it hammers the driveline.

Pulled a p0191 code.

105,000km on car, anyone else get this? Under load or full power, the car is a rocket and just made great power at the dyno.. but it won't cruise and even died a few times on me after I started it. I went to the track and it pulled great too.

I wonder if STAR gives operating ranges for the fuel pumps under varying amounts of load and lets you know if they're both in good order

A simpler fix would be a nice fuel rail sensor I suppose.

Pretty sure my fuel pumps are toast, car will barely start and idle.

Got a load of codes last night, rich bank 1/2, fuel press codes etc.

Fuel pumps are like $300ea. Might be good maintenance at your mileage and considering how hard they've been working.

Where $300 each? I was quoted $1500 CND, for two at the dealer.

Unfortunately OE Discount Parts does not ship outside the continental US which is a complication as Merc63 is in Alberta. Maybe transship or use a border pick up place if there is one.

Well I had some extra pumps and control modules from my smashed car, I switched them over tonight and still the code came back... I went to a buddies and switched fuel pressure sensors, code gone so far, knock on wood.

So it was the fuel press sensor giving me all the grief... I wonder if it just **** the bed or this 116octane Fuse race fuel (unleaded) took it out?

Back to racing this weekend and installing the meth kit now.

Fuel pressure in the fuel rail it seems.

I used to use Methyl Hydrate from the hardware store. It is 99.9% pure methanol. Locally it is $11.00 a US Gallon/3.78L.

Hi there, sensor was in engine or on gas tank?
