'06 Xfire Automatic: Used car all morning a few days ago and all was well. Tried using again around lunch time and it acted like it was only running on 3 cylinders and would not stay running,

7/28/23 Update:
'06 Xfire: Finally got around to pull codes for bad running and cuts off. Code C101E Mfg Control and P0007 Fuel Volume Regulator. Tried replacing RCM hoping it was a bad relay but got same bad results. P0007 is fuel cut off valve,"I think", and may need to be replaced. Don't know what it looks like and believe it's back by the fuel pump. (Anyone got a picture or a PN?) What is C101E code telling me?

UPDATE 3/24/23: Bought a better code reader and only code was P0101 (MASS Air Flow) The new meter did not pull the P0007 and C101E that was originally posted! This morning I finally got around to replacing the MAF Sensor and all is well now. I did the reset by shorting together the Pos and Neg cables, of course after removing them from the battery, and let it sit for about thirty minutes. Took for a test drive and no more codes and it runs fine with no issues. Thanks to all for your support and suggestions.

 

C1010 is battery undervoltage. What scanner/reader gave you C101E?

An P0007? New one on me. I thought the function of turning fuel off during a collision was a duty of the ECU/Fuel pump relay.

Start searching the service manual and educate US when you find it.

 

I believe they can both be triggered by low voltage. Check all of your connections and the alternator output.

 

I'm using one of those expensive Chinese $19.99 specials! I thought I should get the best money could buy! LoL

Feeling that it's a fuel delivery problem. Starts right up and runs rough for about 10 seconds and cuts off. Gotta get a fuel pressure gage and maybe a new fuel filter. A YouBoob person says that supposedly the fuel shut off valve communicates with the ECM. Gotta get this problem sorted out so I can get the ripped bumper cover on the mend!

 

I never can remember where the Service manual is "hidden" in the forum. As important as it is I'd think it would have it's own sticky heading on the Home Page! Where it's at? Thanks

 

I found it on the internet and downloaded it. Printed out 14 pages, front and back, of the Fuel System and Fuel Delivery. Some light reading when I visit the porcelain alter.

Well most of it was pictures and did some reading. The fuel filter is not just a fuel filter. A pressure regulator is also incorporated inside the filter as well. Need to find a pressure gage setup that will screw onto the fuel log test fitting. What have others used?

Thanks ZERACER. I wish that the forum would make a separate major heading, on the home screen, for all known technical links. Sure would make research a whole lot easier! Maybe something like this, "TECHNICAL PUBLICATION RESEARCH LINKS," manuals, electrical schematics, etc.

 

"Wish in one hand, **** in the other, see which fills faster."

"The Forum" does not exist as an entity or robot. "The Forum" is mostly Gary, myself and Neil. Anything that happens here, happens by action of one of us (other than the site owner who hosts the site, but they do little with anything you see).

The workload is already high enough. We pin all the important stuff in the appropriate forums. All the information is FREE for the taking.
In my newb's link (in my signature below) I even went to the trouble to show people how to search, how do you think I find stuff? I search for it. And yet, everyone wants to be spoon fed without paying for anything or even contributing anything. Hell, most who get help or ask for advice dont even come back to tell us how it went.

I for one am not interested in doing even more, given such experiences.

 

Don't get me wrong! You, Gary and Neil are "Very" appreciated! Don't know where I'd be without Pizzaguy as you have helped me innumerous times and have even called me couple of times when I was in a tough spot! Thank you, thank you and thank you again!

 

For those interested I just ordered a "more gooder" code reader from TEMU. It's a Konnwei KW850 and will tell me a lot more of what my codes are telling me. Even has a library of codes and what they mean.

 

Can you please feedback here if it covers most of the systems that are troublesome with our XF's? Thanks in advance!

Don't think it will be Xfire specific cause it will be for all vehicles. For $60 I think it should be a great deal better than the $20 one I currently have. You could probably find a video about it on YouBoob.

 

Those DTC codes make no sense. Neither are listed in the Crossfire Service Manual. Better luck with your new scanner.

 

I found this information below with a search:

P0007 Code

C101E Code - C101E OBD Code Definition: Right Front Vertical Acceleration Sensor (Looks like it may take a high-end code scanner to pinpoint the source of this problem.)

 

Thanks. I have ordered a better code scanner, not high end, but better that the $20 scanner I currently have. Konnwei KW880 model.

 

If your new code scanner doesn't help with your diagnosis, my suggestion would be to look for an independent M-B service shop in your area. Have them connect with their code scanner & see if they can pinpoint the problem.

You can use this link to find a M-B Service shop in your area: CLICK

 

Even though this post is about engine running problem you'll notice my front bumper cover in #4 above needs attention. While waiting for my new scanner to arrive I guess I remove the cover and see what I can do about it, if anything! I did buy a plastic welding kit and may or may not be something that will work. Body shops have told me it has to have another cover installed and painted. I won't post anything further about the bumper cover in this current post.

 

I for one, have never been a member of an automotive forum prior to purchasing my Crossfire. This has been both a life saver and a wallet saver for me. I absolutely appreciate everything I see here. I ran a facebook site for several years and now understand the unending work required to keep things going. If it wasn't for this forum my car would have been sitting dead from about the end of week one. This forum has saved me through stuck keys, jammed trunks, top failures, engines that just stop running (for a while), broken hood cables and latches, HVAC blower speed problems, cranky transmission interlocks, and many more I can't remember at the moment. For everything under the sun, a few good men rise to the top and are very much appreciated. Keep up the good work and sing out if you need assistance.

 

My new code reader finally arrived and there is only one code that was read ( P0101 ) Just read them and haven't had time to do the research yet. I have to go to an appointment right now. Here is a couple of pics.
