Enging Management Fuel Pressure P1064 Fault

[Josboogz]

Hi All,

 

 

My Delta 1.4 (140) SE went in for a recent Oil/OilFilter and Air Filter change and then a day later the Engine Management Light came on with "Check Engine" warning and Start/Stop disabled (which didnt work anyway). I supplied the Selenia Pure K Oil and Mann Filter so I know the parts were good unless the oil was a dodgy batch?

 

My mechanic that did the oil change checked his work, read the fault code and said its P1064 which suggests its Fuel Pressure at fault. But he isnt a diagnostic expert and said i may need to go to Fiat.

 

Car is running fine in regard to power and idling and feels no different.

 

From some online research, some have suggested a gauze filter (part number - 55238665) that could be replaced, https://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-mito/785042-possible-multiair-failure.html

or that the fuel rail pressure sensor is at fault.

 

I am trying to get Multiecuscan up and running so i can get the proper description from the fault this evening, but not sure my ELM interface is working correctly.

 

What do you guys recommend, I dont want to chuck money at guessing at the parts that need changing but do I have a choice? Thinking of going to a diagnostic specialist?

 

Any advice appreciated!

Yeah all the online stuff relates to fuel pressure. Whereabouts are you? You could with getting the car to a Fiat/Alfa specialist really for proper diagnosis as they'll use Examiner to read the codes and reset, then they can determine if this is mechanical or electrical glitch.

 

The code you’ve listed is an OBD-II trouble code that the sensor has detected a fuel pressure problem. In many cases, it’s due to a blockage of fuel within the primary fuel rail or the return hose. It is also common that the fuel rail pressure sensor is faulty and causing a false reading. When this occurs, it triggers the ECU to make adjustments to the fuel pressure and mixture. It can cause increased engine idle issues.

Cheers Mikey seems consistent with what I have read or heard.

 

I'm in Rugby, thinking of heading to Auto Diag in Dunchurch on the A45 which should be able to test the sensor for me. Funny coincidence as they said they had a Delta in and was currently trying to rebuild the heater system and having a nightmare as it had been bodged before.

 

As car drives no differently hoping it's the sensor. Fingers crossed!
