Fault code P1093 means fuel pressure not reached under load. A code used by several manufacturers to indicate that the fuel supply circuit cannot keep up with demand under acceleration.
Typical symptoms
- Loss of power uphill
- Limp mode
- Hard starting when hot
Most common causes
- Clogged fuel filter
- Weak lift pump
- Injectors with excessive return flow
- Worn high-pressure pump
- Air in the circuit
How it is checked in diagnosis
- Reading requested and actual pressure under load
- Injector return-flow test
- Checking the supply pressure

How MasterTuning helps
We read the real values from the ECU, not just the code: that is the difference between identifying the component responsible and replacing parts by trial and error. After the repair we clear the fault and check that it does not come back. Centres throughout Italy.
