I just can’t get through a winter mountain tour without some issue. At least this isn’t as bad as last year’s turbo failure.
My van was experiencing what I would describe as a hiccup on acceleration. Finally a check engine light illuminated and a scan revealed code P0180-1. Indicating a failure of the fuel temperature sensor. Essentially, the temperature sensor Is experiencing an intermittent open circuit which causes the fuel rail to open and send the fuel back to the tank significantly reducing the pressure in the rail, thus causing my acceleration hiccups. Luckily it’s not occurring at highway speed’s. Swapping the sensor for a new one did not fix the problem.
I know it’s basic electrical work but if anyone has any tips for finding shorts or opens in the sprinter wiring harness please do share. Thanks.
