Vectra DI 2nd hand diesel pump programin - kit57bron
1999 Vectra 2.0 DI with 149,000 on the clock. Still off the road with a fuel problem. Will tick over but wont rev - just goes a little rough when I put my foot on the throttle. Also hard to start if left overnight, runs on 2 or 3 cys and black smokes for 5 mins. then clears and ticks over OK but won't rev. I think it may be the pump. If I fit a second hand unit from the scrap yard, do I need to get the electronics re-programmed?

will take you to recent discussions on problems with GM diesel engines/injection pumps. On a 1999 car I guess you don't want to pay £900 to have the pump refurbed? If you do I can point you in the direction of a firm in Swansea who did one for me last month. What you are describing sounds as though it might be the 'spill pipes' which (luckily), is a very small job. Good luck!
