Hesitation on full throttle
Recently converted my 110 to a td5 10p
Bit of back ground first
Im running standalone power loom, standard tdi fuel tank and bosch 044 pump mounted 1ft from tank and then filtered through the tdi filter housing.
10mm pipe from pump to filter which is mounted under bonnet. Then 8mm from filter to fuel regulator connection
Immobiliser code generator to ecu.
Standard msb ecu. Believed its defender but now wondering if its a disco map on there
Starts instantly and drives but when accelerating it feels like its holding back.
Got absolutely no smoke at all.
The maf is disconnected currently but been told its only for egr which is not fitted.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Do you have an OBD plug? If so suggest you plug in to see if if has any codes? Also what gearbox and T-case are you running with it? 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

Yes it has an obd port. No codes stored.
Its running td5 r380 box. Transfer box is my original 1.4. The high/low range switch wiring is bridged so thinks its in high range all the time

Hello, I see some orange flags on your setup.
1.- the TD5 needs to get 4bar fuel pressure AFTER the regulator, usually 6 bar before it, perhaps your inline filter is loosing some pressure.
2.- The MAF NEEDS to be connected it doesnt control the EGR it measures the air flow and injects more or less fuel accordingly, if it is disconnected then it will reduce power and work on an standard map.
3.- Also check the Turbo pressure perhaps its low Augusto

MAF is not really needet, TD5 is able to run without, but it is better to have a good working one. More important is MAP sensor in engine intake - working and CLEAN. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile

there is an important power difference between a good MAF and a cheap (only one filament) or bad one Augusto

Going to order a vdo maf sensor. The tuner said it only needed for egr so actually running it disconnected wont hurt. Now getting conflicting advice.
Im getting good fuel flow after the regulator and the 044 pump is capable of 8 bar pressure if needed.

TD5 EURO2 engine is using MAP only to control the engine, EURO3 is using MAP and MAF, and in case of MAF failure it switch back to EURO2 strategy - MAP only.
Good working MAF or totally not working MAF is "OK" - engine is getting right or no output from MAF. Biggest problem is only partly working MAF outputing bad vaules - this is hard for engine to recognize between good and bad, and sometimest the engine management is confused, resulting in low power.
It is not uncommon to have MAF outputing low values. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile

So presume a 10p is euro 2 and 15p is euro 3.
The new maf arrived today so will get on and fit tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

Yes, 15P is Euro 3. When tuned, the difference of good working and not connected MAF is even bigger. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile
