APR pump failure? Car lost almost all power, limp mode, two codes

[Renagade]

HOW IT HAPPENED:
I filled up the car, left the gas station "quickly" 5000 rpms in 2nd gear, car lost all power. I limped it home a mile.

WHAT I FOUND:
Pulled codes from OBD port.
P2293 - Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Performance
P0087 - Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low

Freaked out, I pulled the APR HPFP. Cam follower looked ok.

But I noticed the plunger appeared shorter than normal. I compared it to my OEM pump
From plunger tip to mounting base = 26.81mm (APR)

From plunger tip to mounting base = 38.50mm (OEM)

Of course this happens on Labor Day weekend, and my car is dead for the time being. What do you guys think... did the APR pump get screwed, i dont think I did anything to this, but this is weird. The fuel pump has 3800 miles on it.

I would ask APR for a new pump...

I have allready freaked out about that... but I highly doubt they are connected.:mad0259:

you have oil leaking from your valve cover and you left the gas station "quickly" 5000 rpms in 2nd gear.

No, I have a very slight amount of oil coming from my oil cap. And yes I drove the car quickly... I diddnt stage 2+ my car because my bank account was bored and needed to be drained. :biggrin:

 

[dave80]

ok cool, just making sure.

I Sent my pump back to APR to get checked. They didn't charge me a dime. Since you have your oem pump throw that back on, put your car into stock mode and overnight your pump to APR. It looks like something is VERY wrong.

Oh and that cam follower is NOWHERE near ok. The second that black DLC coating is scuffed I replace them.

 

[Savir04]

Yea that cam follower is not ok, change it asap man

 

[sikkony]

The plunger on the HPFP will be slightly shorter than OEM.

Not sure about APR's one. I can't see why it would be different from other HPFPs.

 

[Renagade]

When.I say the follower is ok, I mean it cannot be part of the diagnosis since it could have survived until 50000 miles when I would have changed it. I allready have the new follower. I will just have to wait until Tuesday to get apr on the phone.

I called.support, they are sending a box for it. Have you ever seen anything like this? It looks like the plunger siezed or something. I did all of my normal maintenance, and the pump has 3800 miles on it. Maybe I got an odd ball?
