I see this is a pretty common thing across the board, Is there an air fuel ratio sensor to replace? Or the high fuel pressure pump is the only fix? Along with fuel sender and sensor? Not sure where to start. I noticed an odd burning plastic smell last night and got this error this morning. Want to make sure I am addressing the right issue correctly. Thanks in advance guys

 

Anyone?

 

Wish I had an answer for you my friend...

(I'm at Walmart, just picked up my Unity strut)...

 

Run the codes with a scanner... However, in your case, open up the oil cap, and take sniff to see if you smell fuel in there...

 

The high pressure pump is on my list to change as I've experienced the same code. I don't drive the car as often as I would like but its definitely on the list of things to do asap.

 

Hey Guys, Before ya'll start replacing your HPFP for no reason, please please check out this Informational Bulletin in regards to this specific issue.... In short, check your HPFP Sensor first, under the intake manifold before you go out replacing your HPFP, especially if you pop yoir oil cap and dont smell clear signs of Gasoline. Please check it out...

Information
^ Document with limited validity
This Quick Information is valid until December 31, 2011
Vehicle Type:

Concerns:
High*pressure fuel pump
Information:
We have discovered that the high*pressure pump is increasingly being replaced, but in subsequent tests carried out by the manufacturer,
these high*pressure pumps are found to be functioning correctly.
Due to various customer complaints, such as
^ engine start problems
^ reduced engine power
and the following fault memory entries in the DME control unit
^ P0190 * Fuel high*pressure sensor
^ P1030 * Fuel high*pressure sensor stuck
the high*pressure pump is being replaced (complaints can vary and problems can occur independently of each other).
In most cases, the sensor of the high*pressure pump is defective and is the cause of these complaints.
Action Required:
Diagnose the faults and work through the fault codes using "Guided Fault Finding" in PIWIS Tester II.
