Hey all.
Need some help on this one... jumped in the ute this morning and fired her up only for her to crank. Wouldnt turn over. Checked everything under the sun and came up with the theory that it was fuel hungry... fuel filter & plunger did feel a bit ordinary so bled lines and tried a few things... cut a long story short I got a bloke to throw a scanner on it and its come up with 73.P3 fault code.
Has anyone else had this one come up? It stands for 'pump communication line' and most of the mechanics I've talked to today have said its 90% pump failure. A few have said it COULD be something else, but most likely pump. Im totally unsure what to do or try. One mechanic did mention that if you hit the key to 'on' and you hear a very faint buzzing noise (not a click like a relay, but a buzz or something) it's the ECU and you will more then likely have power to the pump and it DOES HAVE A BUZZ. So I might be lucky... who knows.
If anyone knows something I could try I'd be happy to try it! I've called around Cairns and the best I can do (if it is pump replacement) is $4K for a recon pump installed. Absolute best anyone can do... I'd love to say its something else but its not looking good!
Cheers in advance
