Affected Vehicles
Condition
^ Extended cranking time when engine is hot and/or rough idle after startup.
^ No DTC is stored in ECM memory.
Technical Background
One or more fuel injectors may be stuck open, allowing fuel to enter the combustion chamber when engine is hot. Drop in fuel pressure may cause delayed restart of the engine, ("long crank") and/or rough idle after startup.
Production Solution
Not applicable.
Service
1. Bring engine to operating temperature and continue to hold the engine at 3,000 RPM for an additional 5 minutes, so that the engine is hot.
2. Observe MVB "fuel rail pressure, actual value" to determine rail pressure. Should be at ~35000hPa (~35 bar).
3. Turn engine off.
4. Monitor MVB "fuel rail pressure, actual value".
If the pressure decreases to ~25000 hPa (~25bar) within 10 minutes, remove the plugs and check possible fuel ingress in cylinder (or combustion chamber.)
