ZD30 Diesel Fuel Injection Pump Failure VP44 D22 Nissan Frontier Navara Solution | by JBManCave.com

[@JBsManCave]

If you have a ZD30 engine with a Bosch VP44 diesel fuel injection pump then you will want to look at this to see what I did. If you went through the process of having to deal with a diesel fuel injection pump that failed because of circuitry or spill valve error please comment and tell us what you did.

Thanks for your input into ZD30 Diesel Fuel Injection Pump. What is your next move?

[@robbiestemmet4951]

Great video! Thank you. I am having the same problem. Is there anything to be careful of when removing the fuel pump or is it pretty straight forward?

[@JBsManCave]

Robbie, thanks. Taking out the pump is quite an undertaking because of its location. Are you just exchanging it with another pump or are you taking it to service?

[@robbiestemmet4951]

@JB's Man Cave thanks for the response. I will be taking it for testing and possibly repairs

[@JBsManCave]

Robbie, best way, especially with a Bosch authorized dealer, because one thing you do not want to do is go through the work of mounting it up again only to see it is not working or works for a short time with any generic quick fix. Also, careful with the electrical chords that run from the pump they are kind of flimsy and damage easily.

I am also now getting a problem with my zd30 turbo non common rail when the diesel tank is half full it hard starts on the first cold start but when the diesel tank is full it starts normal on a cold start. So I thought it was the primer pump and changed it but I am still getting the same issue

[@JBsManCave]

Qadir, thanks for sharing your experience. One thing I have found with the ZD30 and that pump is you have to keep the fuel above half or the lines start to get clogged. It should not be because there is a filter but that is what happens. You should do an error code check to see what is happening: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6rdeaODhLiora8

[@amiame115]

I got this problem on my Nissan Patrol Y61.. such tough times to face this. The ZD30 engine is a big problem.

[@JBsManCave]

Ami, the pump has to be well maintained to avoid this situation. Changing the filter often and ensuring there are no power surges to spoil the VP44's computer. What are you going to do?

[@amiame115]

@@JBsManCave Yeah. I always change the fuel filter according to the one on the manual but i should have done it almost every oil change after seeing how expensive this simple thing is 😩 i am planning to just buy used car with how expensive it this pump is. 2800usd for the new parts. I need a quick fix for this 🥺 The error code that i got is... 0073 P3-PUMP COMM LINE 0076 P6-SPILL VALVE 0047 CKP SEN/CIRCUIT And somehow 0047 and 0073 disappeared after awhile

[@JBsManCave]

Ami, that "SPILL VALVE" error code is the VP44. Does it start at all or can start but stays below 1500 RPMs? I hear you on buying a vehicle. Have you thought about just servicing the pump rather than buying a new one?

[@amiame115]

[@JBsManCave]

Gurwinder, as far as I understand... the proper way is to calibrate the pump with the engine. I have read where people just put it in and reset the whole vehicle so no error codes come up. What you can do is contact Bosch and see what they say about it.

@@JBsManCave lol🤣 your video came up as a recommendation 👍

[@kimsantana1668]

I installed a used unit, I suspect that the root cause was the primer pump as it wasn't holding system pressure...I would always have to prime the pump before starting...and I also experience the internal element of the fuel filter collapsing...both would have staved the pump of fuel causing the pump to overheat and fail...pump requires fuel as a lubrication and coolant.

[@JBsManCave]

Kim, they can test the pump to tell you what is wrong. However, it is going to cost you if you have to get someone to pull out the pump and put it back.

[@ranatauheed6100]

Can you suggest which mechanical diesel injection pump can be install in. ZD 30 ?

[@JBsManCave]

One mechanic who said he did the conversion used a VE Pump which is six cylinders so it has to be converted as the VP44 is 4 cylinders. You will also need a new rotor head, so it is not just a matter of buying a replacement pump... it needs to be done by someone accustomed to doing this as I showed in the video.

After 10 years of happily driving my zd30 powered D22, my injection pump suddenly died. While in Tobago on vacation, it was idling happily and just sputtered and died. My mechanic in Trinidad scanned and showed me the spill valve error code pointing to the injection pump. Now I will wait for him to remove it and get it remanufactured. The local shop that does it assured me that a reman unit could potentially give me several more years of trouble free operation. This cost is pretty high, more than the cost of an entire engine for some of our common local cars. Of course this cost comes at a very inconvenient time so I am not very happy :(

Nicholas, I know just how you feel. That computerized VP44 pump gives extra power and zip but when it fails it makes you cry. That is how I felt when I made this video. Did you check my other video for getting the scan codes yourself?

[@CptAwesomeTT]

It just so happens that I've always been well aware that this failure can come knocking on my door one day but convinced myself I'd gotten a "good" one. I've experienced almost the exact symptoms you described. It will start after many tumbles and idle perfectly after an initial stumble or two. Then revving beyond 1000rpm is impossible. These engines are so powerful that even at idle you can cycle up to 5th gear and run at 50km/h on flat road and even climb some hills but obviously this is far from ideal.

[@JBsManCave]

Nicholas, yes, that is what I did to get home when it was doing that, put in the 4x4 and run it. The pump is too expensive for what it does though, hence some have gone with the mechanical version.

The other thing is I can take off without having to apply fuel. Just being in gear one and the truck starts to move. Are you thinking about changing engines?
