BMW Z4 E85 FUEL PUMP 2003-2005
BMW Z4 E85 FUEL PUMP
Fuel System – Repair Procedures – Z4/E85
FUEL PUMP WITH DRIVE AND LINE
Feature of this version with ambient pressure:
The connection for the vacuum hose of the fuel pressure regulator is located between the throttle and the air cleaner or on the air cleaner.
Test precondition:
The correct fuel pressure regulator is fitted.
{ Using the EPC, check whether the fuel pressure regulator suitable for the car is fitted:
Connect test adapter. See 13 31 029 Checking Fuel Pump Delivery Pressure (M54)
Description of operation:
The control function of the fuel pressure regulator must be guaranteed under all operating conditions. The fuel pump must always be able to generate a higher fuel pressure than the pressure regulated by the pressure regulator.
The injection rate is adjusted by means of the injection time; the injection time is controlled by the DME.
Description of operation: fuel return line
When the engine is at a standstill and the ignition key is in position 0, the fuel return line after the pressure regulator is at zero pressure.
Description of operation: pressure retaining function
The pressure regulator closes when the engine is at a standstill and the ignition key is in position 0. The fuel pressure in the delivery line is retained over an extended period. A non-return valve closes in the fuel pump.
These measures help to retain the fuel pressure in the fuel system. Extended starting times are thus avoided.
Complaint: drive characteristic faults, lack of power
{ Run engine at idle speed and measure fuel pressure.
If the measured value is less than the nominal value – 0.2 bar:
{ – Line cross-sections in fuel feed are constricted or fuel filter is clogged,
or
{ Fuel pump voltage supply is not O.K.: e.g. as a result of high contact resistance (corrosion) in plug
connection between wiring harness and fuel pump.
If the measured value is greater than the nominal value + 0.2 bar:
{ Turn off engine stop and then observe measured value.
{ If measured value drops to nominal value, then line cross-sections in fuel return are constricted or clogged.
{ Check the fuel lines for kinks.
If no kinks are visible:
{ Replace return lines If measured value remains too high, then pressure regulator is in all probability faulty.
important:
With less likelihood, the return line may be completely blocked. When the pressure regulator is removed, fuel could escape under pressure!
{ Have a cleaning cloth ready and catch and dispose of escaping fuel.
{ Replace the return line but not the pressure regulator.
Complaint: starting problems
{ Run engine briefly at idle speed and switch off.
{ Note down measured value while engine is stopped.
{ Read off measured value again after approx. 20 to 30 minutes while engine is stopped.
Special tool 13 3 010 (hose clamp) is required for the following test.
If the measured value has dropped by more than 0.5 bar:
{ Start engine and wait briefly for a stable pressure increase.
{ Switch off the engine and immediately pinch off the delivery line just before the pressure gauge with the special tool 13 3 010.
{ Note down measured value
{ Read off measured value again after approx. 20 to 30 minutes while engine is stopped
the measured value has now dropped by less than 0.5 bar, the following faults can be present:
{ Fault in delivery lines
{ Fault in in-tank delivery hose
{ Faulty pressure-holding non-return valve in fuel pump
Check components. Replace faulty components.
If the measured value has dropped by more than 0.5 bar again:
{ Replace pressure regulator
