terrano NO power, lots of fuel, no smoke.

[Dagwill]

Bought this 96 Terrano TD27ETi, 208K ks . It was smoking badly Garage had told seller rings needed replacing. I thought at 208 thou. it should only just be run in so i took a chance. Worked out the seals on the turbo were shot and it was spewing oil into the intake. Relaced the turbo and now no smoke at all.
Problem, at just off idle it feels grt, but thats where it all ends from 1500 to 2000 revs on theres just nothing. From specs 0 to 100ks should be about 16 to 18 seconds this thing does 0 to 100 in around 30 sec. with a top speed of 115ks, prob 120 on a long straight. Its not starving for fuel, changed filter , cleaned small filter under IP banjo, fitted an extra electric fuel pump just before main filter. Its getting all the fuel it needs [Im only getting 400ks to a full tank, 80ltrs ] If anything TOO much fuel but no smoke at all.
Fitted a boost guage on the turbo ,seems fine ,im getting around 11psi boost.
Im thinking it must be somthing to do with timing, starts fine so maybe theres no advance happening. bought a dial indicator and made up a timing tool [to reverse the action and get indicator away from injection lines] . At the moment im waiting for a code reader to come from ebay and read codes before starting to meddel with timing.
Any ideas please.
Thanks Dave

Hi Dave,

This is a dedicated Nissan Patrol forum and while our great members will help if they can you might find that this would be better posted on a forum like http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/

Dave, I once had a similar problem with a Kia truck. Turned out to be injector pump timing was out. I'm no exper6 and thats all I've got, good luck.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Simple solution is to buy a Patrol Seriously though, maybe @nissannewby could let you know what's up with it.

Air or fuel.

Changed any of the filters?

Air or fuel.

Changed any of the filters?

Changed fuel filter, little filter under banjo on IP [ missing ], pump on top of filter hard as a rock when engine running, after that added electric fuel pump before main filter.
Getting all the fuel it needs, drinking fuel at 5ks to the ltr [ using twice the fuel it should ]
Carefully cleaned MAF, tried running with MAF unplugged, yes its working.
Changed air filter
replaced turbo, fitted boost guage ,11psi boost
blocked EGR and removed butterfly.
Checked engine codes 13 and 55, nothing seems relevant.
From idle to just off idle seems normal, then guttless.
New injectors just before i bought it , not sure which one but one injector is noisy, tick tick tick
Auto trans seems to change at all the right revs,and kicks down if i accelerate [even a little ]
At idle the revs will often change, hunt/surge or just be a bit high.

Been tinkering ,head sratching and constantly searching Google, im frustrated as hell and against my will turning into a real grump. PLEASE HELP

And its like that all the time? From dead cold to operating temp?

It is sounding fuel related.
Where are you located?

Hi Thanks for yr reply nissannewbuy, I live at Lyndoch SA 5351
Fuel related? Im no expert but I thought I had that covered ? apart from maybe the "valve" just before the return line, not sure but I believe that restricts the return and maintains some pressure needed for regulating timing advance?
And because of the very poor econemy, I assumed its getting ample fuel,,,, not sure about starving causing incomplete combustion etc?

Is there a wire on no1 injector?

So there was nothing under the inlet to the injector pump?
