Help! 6.5 Turbo Diesel problems.

[glivingstone]

Hi everyone.
Well its not good news but I have managed to get some codes from a dealer although they have little or no knowlege of the vehicle and were hesitant to reveal the codes, here they are:
P0216 Injection Timing Control Circuit
P1214 Injection Pump Timing Offset
Does this in anyway point to the FSD or something else?
Also asked about checking the TDC Offset and the guy was clearly out of his depth.
Oh he also said that the Injection timing was 0.0 when in on mode and 6.8 when in off mode ???
Advice given was anything from a new IP to a new PCM (computer) they just don't know.
Vehicle appears to run fine for a minute or two when it is cold but then massively overfuels at low revs, however seems to run normally over 2000 RPM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have a search of the forum for "P1214". There are some recent similar posts that may help. Would be a good Idea to get Actual readings before making any adjustments. eg Top Dead Centre Desired, Top Dead Centre Actual, and Top Dead Centre Offset. Remember to score a mark on the pump and timing cover so you can reverse any adjustments.

If you are technically minded you may want to purchase your own Scanner, I recently purchased a cable from the states to interface OBD II socket with a laptop. Didn't break the bank either!

Cheers

Would love to have my own Tech II Scanner or similar that could check Injector pump timing and TDC Offset.
Can anyone suggest where to enquire and how much?

I did some research on several different ones and settled on Carcode. It interfaces the car to a laptop computer. Cost approx $200 AUD with a RS232 to USB adaptor, and software download. Can View Timing and TDC offset. Can Command TDC Offset learn and numerous other helpful things. (2-10 days delivery with Global Priority) got mine in about 9 days. It has Enhanced GM data and commands.

Thanks Noel, could you give me some more information on who to contact in relation to the Carcode.
Sounds like I will be able to set my own TDC Offset learn with this one.
Do you need to order software separatley?
