    Check your spark plugs! :)

    Maybe a bad/clogged injector. The cylinder needs fuel just like a gas engine needs spark would produce the same results.

    Had the same issue, turns out I eventually had to replace the pump. But, I can't remember I replaced the something near the manual pump. I assume your talking about the fault with a pump and 3 lines under it on the dash

    Thats it, its wierd because we can take the air filter out(the big round one)and it straightens out until we idle for a few hours then we have to do it again. But while it is running like a missing, vibrating boat , it won't change gears, pop the hood take out the air filter and she straightens out.

    We tried to find that symbol in the manual, but couldn't find it. Think it may be a combination of both the pump and the injector

    no i believe it has to do with the pump itself…….when i had the volvo d12 I had sooooo many issues with that truck…and that was one of them……thing is I finally replaced the pump and accessory drive, and still didn't fix light coming on….got rid of it 2 months later...

    Check if you getting air in fuel if you do then check is in inside engine or outside
    if inside then your injector cups are leaking
    when they injector cups leaking you engine makes noise like you take hand full of change and shake and loses power on heavy loads
    if you adding coolant that may be a problem or check your water separator fuel for coolant
    you can check if you getting air in fuel inside engine but you got install clear lines of fuel and have to use clean fuel from bucket or canister
    and you need to check fuel pressure your pump may be bad or central drive is getting bad
    central drive you can check by removing belts of and see if is any play
