P00BB - OBD Trouble Code

OBD Code P00BB - Fuel Injector Insufficient Flow - Forced Limited Power

<<See All OBD Codes

A direct impact on the fuel delivery system can cause immediate loss of power form the engine due to multiple reasons of malfunction and directly impacting the amount of fuel entering the engine for combustion. Any mismatch in the fuel to air ration will directly result in

loss of power form the engine and record P00BB error code in the PCM after detection of the problem.


OBD-II Code Decreased engine performance is defined as a Fuel Injector Insufficient Flow - Forced Limited Power.

Learn More About OBD Code P00BB Error

The P00BB code specifies the problem related to the fuel injection system which when is not able to inject the right about of fuel to the engine, is sensed by the PCM, which in turn flashes this OBD code. Forced limited power is usually a sort of mode that the vehicle enters when it needs to control certain values to prevent the operator from further damaging the engine. Fuel, also has to go through numerous filters, pumps, injectors, lines, connections etc. to finally be delivered to the engine, so as you can imagine, there are a lot of possibilities here. Even small fuel leaks usually provide you with a smell strong enough to notice so keep that in mind.


What causes problem with the fuel delivery system?

  • Increased levels of ethanol content in the fuel tank
  • Weakened low-pressure fuel pump
  • Fuel filter is restricted
  • Fuel supply line restricted
  • Fuel pump is damaged or worn out

Replace/Repair These Parts To Fix OBD Code P00BB

  1. Fuel Line Assembly - A bad fuel line can cause engine stalling and hard starting. It can also cause engine misfires, decrease in power as well as leakages. Thus, we suggest an immediate change if necessary.
  2. Fuel Line Kits - A fuel line is a hose used to bring fuel from one point in a vehicle to another or from a storage tank to a vehicle. It is commonly made of reinforced rubber to prevent splitting and kinking. However, a leaky or damaged fuel line can have direct impact on the fuel delivery system, putting pressure on other components and thus decreasing the engine power. Replace damaged fuel lines today!
  3. Fuel Gaskets - A worn out gasket can be leaky and thus deplete duels and coolants hampering the engine performance. Replace damaged fuel gaskets now!
  4. Engine Control Module - OBD Error Code P00BB can also be due to faulty ECMs. This may lead to engine stalling or not starting, and check engine lights being on. It’s better to get the faulty electricals replaced as soon as possible.
  5. Diagnostic Tool - Choose from our wide variety of diagnostic tools to detect and correct the OBD code error.
  6. Auto Switches & Sensors - Common causes behind that P00BB error code can be defective switches or faulty sensors. So, it will be a good decision to replace them now.
  7. Powertrain Control Module - P00BB error code also relates to problems with the powertrain. Find all the Powertrain related parts with us.
  8. Fuel Pump & Parts - A fuel pump is a frequently (but not always) essential component on a car or other internal combustion engine device. Many engines (older motorcycle engines in particular) do not require any fuel pump at all, requiring only gravity to feed fuel from the fuel tank or under high pressure to the fuel injection system. Visit Parts Avatar today to replace damaged and faulty fuel pumps and other related parts.
  9. Fuel Injection - The fuel injection system lies at the very heart of the diesel engine. By pressurising and injecting the fuel, the system forces it into air that has been compressed to high pressure in the combustion chamber. The diesel fuel injection system consists of: fuel injection pump - pressurised fuel to high pressure. Replace faulty fuel injectors and parts today.
  10. Fuel Filters - A fuel filter is a filter in the fuel line that screens out dirt particles from the fuel, normally made into cartridges containing a filter paper. They are found in most internal combustion engines. Fuel filters serve a vital function in today's modern, tight-tolerance engine fuel systems. Replace old and clogged fuel filters now!

Symptoms Of OBD Error Code P00BB

Some of the common symptoms that can indicate the problem in relation to fuel delivery system flashing the OBD Code P00BB are as follows;

Common Symptoms

  • Low engine power
  • Limited output from the engine
  • Abnormal response from throttle
  • Diminished fuel economy
  • Increased engine emissions and noise
  • Engine stalling and hard starting
  • Smoke coming up from exhaust pipe on start-up
  • Check Engine Light ON

How To Correct P00BB Fuel Injector Insufficient Flow - Forced Limited Power

At Parts Avatar Canada, find quality replacement and performance parts that are needed to correct the problem related to code P00BB.


Some of the key components that can be replaced if found problematic are as follows.


  • Fuel Pump
  • Fuel Filter
  • Powertrain Control Module
  • Fuel Injection System
  • Damaged wirings

Easy Diagnosis Of Engine Error OBD Code P00BB

  • Check for any leaks and address them immediately. This causes lower than desired fuel pressures in any closed system. Rusted lines, fuel filter gaskets, deteriorated O-rings, etc. all cause fuel leaks.
  • Next, examine the low fuel pressure system's filter which may be located on the frame rail or close to the fuel tank. Make sure you follow proper bleeding and filter replacement procedures as introducing air into a diesel fuel system can be a tricky problem to rectify. Refer to service manual for specifications and procedures.
  • Locate your fuel injector and make sure to ensure no fittings or connectors are leaking fuel. Also, around the injector itself (O-ring) is a common leak. Visually inspect for any signs of physical damage or for that matter anything that would cause fuel flow to be reduced (i.e. kinked line at injector). Particles within the fuel is a real possibility given the openings being so small. Ensure proper fuel system maintenance (e.g. fuel filters, EVAP, etc.)


Common Mistakes When Diagnosing The P00BB Code

 

Most of the time we tend to diagnose the problem without completely identifying the real cause of it. It is important to follow all the diagnostic steps and examine each component carefully before correcting. Some of the components to be focused on are listed below;

 

  • Clogged fuel filter
  • Fuel pressure regulator failure
  • Fuel pump failure
  • Leaking fuel lines
  • Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failure
  • Wiring/harness issue
