sometimes when accelerating has no get up and go need help it gives me the codes 1693, 0216, 0234. i know that 0234 is turbo over boost any ideas how to fix or what these codes are thanks in advance the truck is a 2001 2500 automatic diesel that is stock except for banks trans and enginge brake

 

I hate to say it but,....the 0216 (Fuel Injection Pump Timing Failure)
sounds like vp44 going south. I hope i'm wrong but maybe some other guys might have a better prognosis for you. Good luck.

 

Fill out yer signature and you'll get a lot of responses! We need to know what truck ya got.

 

216 code= dying VP!! My VP is on its way out also. I got dead pedal pullin out onto the street about 10 days ago ! I have been readin on these diesel forums and in the last 2 weeks there has been a rash of VP's dying or dead. Wonder if the warming of spring temps is bring them on. There is a LOT of them dying so something is causing it or coincedence ! Man my pants pocket hurts!!

 

Be sure to check the fuel pressure supply to the injection pump, if the lift pump is bad it will ruin the injection pump.

 

Sounds like you got the VP44 death code.

 

thats not what i wanted to hear but thanks guys looks like ill save my pennnys

 

Could the ULSD have something to do with this do to lack of lubrication?

 

Its possible. I have been runnin 2 stroke or howes . Now that it has warmed up Im runnin bio-diesel. I got 152,000 on mine so I guess thats about the life span from what i have been readin. Mine starts right up with just a touch of the key, no smoke , runns good then all of a sudden I get a dead pedal. Got the dreaded 216 code !!

 

is it true if the lift pump is screwed, but still half *** works, that this could ruin the injector pump? my lp has been screwed for a while now. whats a new injector pump worth?

 

i changed the fuel filter and couldn't get it to start till i turned the key on and off about a dozen times the the pump filled it with fuel u guys think it might be the lp
