Appreciate the simple yet clear instructions mate, 10 minute job after watching your clip. Only thing I did differently was use a torx Allen key rather than a spanner and torx bit, only because I dropped the torx bit down the bay first 😂

[@computerbytes01]

Thanks heaps for posting this video - I had taken my car to two mechanics and no one could diagnose my problem with my car jerking and bucking after the engine warmed up. I had tried so many other things as well. This was the last thing I found online before the car went for a really low price on carsales. I was just so over the fault issue.

[@frankneville7212]

Followed this video with the addition of a rag to help catch the fuel. Worked a treat, car now holding boost much better & hitting AFR target, also no more P0193 code. Thanks guys!!

[@fastdruid]

Thanks for the video, very helpful. FWIW I didn't bother with removing the brake vac line or the CVV vac line. It did piss a lot of fuel over the alternator though when I removed the old sensor, if I was to do over I'd put a container there and a rag to try not to pour quite so much everywhere.

Thank you for a very well made tutorial you saved us a lot of time, money and grief

[@blockybalboa1793]

Literally took me 5 minutes thanks to this video today. Only changed as sensor is from manufacture so thought a new one was time

[@joecarrolljnr]

Thanks for this. Was getting p0087 code and was able to swap out faulty sensor having viewed this video. Sorted. 👍

Thanks for posting this video, made swapping it a straightforward 15 minute job 👍 Unusually mine didn't have any fuel pressure at the valve, nor more than a few drops when I removed the old sensor.. Maybe that was why it needed changing 😂

Hello OEM Denied, My 2007 Focus XR5 Turbo currently has a check engine light. I've scanned for codes, and I got codes for ignition coils on all 5 cylinders (twice), as well as P0190 and P0193 (intermittent)... My car is running perfectly, however I have had a few strange electrical gremlins lately, and last time I went to start it, it didn't turn over the first time... I've checked the battery and that's all good, and I've been told to check earth points as well... TIA for your help

[@TheStoryOf-Podcast]

Cheers heaps brother 😍

[@faustini69]

Great video. Is it easier to pull the sensor vacuum hose off/on while the sensor is off the car? Or does the hose block the bolt hole?

[@fireice9418]

Appreciate the video mate very helpful.

Do you know how to fix P2188 “system too rich at idle bank 1”?

[@jordansteeden3749]

I have a fault code for fuel rail pressure sensor circuit high input would this part be my issue ? Great straight forward vid of it is 😊

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

If you cant find any visual signs of wiring damage then sensor is most likely faulty yes

[@Mulisak]

Hello, great tutorial, I'm preparing to do this, I just have one question. Since my car is 15 years old already, do you think there's a risk of damaging the bleeding valve, when releasing the pressure? I doubt it has been ever touched. And I obviously don't want leaking fuel system :). Thanks.

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

nah not really mate. Its basically the same as a tyre valve. Ive never seen one leak myself due to its design

[@Mulisak]

@@OEMDeniedPerformance Great, thanks a lot mate, your videos are awesome :). You're saving us ST owners a lot of money.

[@sixdaysontherun]

would this solve lumpyness on low rpm and stop a 02 sensor running to rich ? p2196 code ? not been replaced for 8 years this sensor? cheers mate

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

It may, but low battery voltage can also cause rich running as can air leaks or dirty injectors. (low voltage gives low fuel pressure which causes injectors to dribble rather than spray, same with dirty injectors - petrol burns as a vapour not a liquid)

[@sixdaysontherun]

@@OEMDeniedPerformance i can safely say bud that the fuel sesnor sorted the code out and its not come back on since :) only issue now is mod x hesitating till 4k revs mod c on the other hand drives alot better but only boosts to 3/4 car has a mind of its own :(

[@alfonsovalencia2456]

Just discovered that the engine on this Ford is really similar to the one on my 2012 S60 Volvo. Does anyone know what the deal is with these engines?

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

pretty much same engine, Ford used Volvos engine because they owned them at the time.

[@Passportsandprofits]

My 2013 s60 has some type of black bracket over the sensor that I have no idea how to remove. Does anyone know how to remove it?

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

should be held in with an 8mm bolt if you look on top of the fuel rail

[@michaelpearce8371]

do anyone know what would cause xr5 engine to bring a fault code saying stuck rich

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

boost leak, low fuel pressure, dirty injectors, low alternator output is the top most 4 common causes

[@ianjefferies6065]

Hi I have a focus rs MK2 with code p0193 will this sort my problem thanks

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

normally does yes

[@southernvapersden1304]

If I get P0193 error, what can cause that?

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

Usually caused by a faulty sensor, wiring fault or lack of fuel pressure (pump starting to fail)

[@kangarooislandmarineadvent7407]

Hi do you have the part number for the fuel pressure sensor ... same engine 2.5 duratec xr5 turbo ..... ??

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

I believe that the S-max uses the same fuel system as the Mondeo and has its own dedicated fuel pump module controller like the Volvos. I would lean more towards that due to the DTCs you've got. I cant be 100% sure though as we dont get the Smax in Australia and I only slightly remember their layout from when I was working in the UK

[@MartinJones123]

Is the car cutting acceleration and a loss of boost symptoms of a faulty fuel pressure sensor? I've got P0190 and P0193 coming up intermittently, as well as coils on all 5 cylinders throwing up codes... In addition, my car is making a very strange whining noise on boost, and also sometimes cuts power... I believe my car is tuned...

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

yes, replace the sensor. Check wiring to ignition coils whilst you are there - might have 2 separate faults.

[@MartinJones123]

@@OEMDeniedPerformance So, the codes on all 5 cylinders and P0193 are related to the fuel pressure sensor, and the whining noise from the turbo (potentially failing) isn't making the car cut power?

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

@@MartinJones123 no, Im saying you might have 2 different faults. The ignition coils and fuel rail pressure sensor are separate to each other. replace the fuel rail pressure sensor and check the wiring to the ignition coils first. Your noise I cant comment on as cant see it.

[@MartinJones123]

​@@OEMDeniedPerformance Oh, I get what you mean... I have a clip of the noise on my other account, so I'll comment with that account which has the video there... Or I'll post the link using this account... Potentially check the spam filter if there is no comment...

​@@OEMDeniedPerformanceThis is me on my other account... The video of the noise is on this account...

[@ulisesvillafuerte3159]

What problem did you have before replacing the sensor?

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

High fuel usage, poor performance, DTC P0088 logged (Fuel rail pressure too high) DTC will also trigger engine light

[@mattp9067]

OEM Denied Performance would it cause misfiring in the low RPM

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

​@@mattp9067 yes can do. To confirm or deny a FRP sensor fault firstly read the stored DTCs, then look at what the live reading is from the ECU for the fuel rail pressure. Many things can cause missfires so it is best to diagnose the fault properly rather than changing parts based on symptoms alone.

[@blockybalboa1793]

@@OEMDeniedPerformance Focus ST and high fuel usage are the norm

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

Depends what you class as norm. Our shop car can cruise on the highway at 100kph in 6th and get 7L per 100km - Wish our Sierra got that!

[@ianportlock4226]

Couldn’t have done it without this tutorial but can I give anyone any advice when switching a new one in is to go for genuine ‘Genuine’ Volvo Bosch part 0261 230 110. I bought a similar one to the one in the video and it leaked, tried reseating it a couple of times and still leaked, put the old faulty one back on and no issues. OE quality parts isn’t the same as OEM parts, buy genuine that’s my advice, but maybe I got unlucky with my OE part who’s knows. Don’t buy cheap buy right

[@OEMDeniedPerformance]

I'm afraid you have you wires crossed in the meaning of things mate. Part number 0261230238 is not a Volvo part number. It is a Bosch part number. The Genuine Volvo part number is 31272732 & 31251447 OE and OEM are not the same thing. An example of an OE version of this part would be a Goss branded sensor. It is of OE quality but they are not the Original Equipment of Manufacturer. Bosch is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) so it is the same part that you buy from Volvo or Ford without coming in a Volvo or Ford box. Sounds like you just had an faulty replacement sensor which you should be able to get get replaced from your supplier or caught the O ring during install.

Videos are recorded in the workshop during a normal work day not in a studio Im afraid so we do have some background noise. That noise is most likely a door shutting in the workshop, toolbox draw or the fabricator using the press
