E90 330d cutting out

[Spannie]

Turns out that injector 4 was leaking back diesel to the tank, thus causing the rail to lose pressure, and the engine to cut out...

Thanks bud! The car is driving like a dream again, I missed it a lot!

Just a follow-up post - it was actually the solenoid on the injector which was shorting out and thus causing the engine to shut down. That's why it was an electrical and a mechanical issue to some extent, and the reason it was so hard to diagnose.

Happy you got it sorted raise:

Not sure if I will have this problem on mine as I have the 330i but good to know :fencelook:

Nah I think the 330i won't really have injector issues, given the fact that they're not as complex as the high pressure diesel injectors.

I have a problem with my e90 LCI the other day i tried starting it and it refused to start. It swings but nothing happened. Had the fuel pump replaced it then started up, now once it started up the rev counts were too high and it cut off, so i replaced the fuel float on the opposite side. When the car starts up and you press the accelerator it cuts out. Had the new fuel pump tested and the pump is fine. Please can anyone help me!
