P2293 on Ford
Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Performance
P2293 on Ford vehicles indicates fuel pressure regulator 2 performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on F-250 Super Duty. This code means the engine computer has detected that the fuel pressure regulator 2 isn't performing as expected, so the system can't maintain the correct fuel pressure under varying conditions. On many direct-injection and high-pressure systems, regulator 2 controls the high-side fuel pressure, and the computer compares commanded pressure to what the fuel pressure sensor actually reports. When the measured pressure drifts too far from the target, it sets this performance code, which can cause hard starting, rough running, hesitation, reduced power, or stalling. Causes typically include a faulty regulator or high-pressure pump, a fuel delivery restriction, or a pressure sensor problem. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2293
- •Faulty fuel pressure regulator (regulator 2)
- •Failing high-pressure fuel pump
- •Faulty or out-of-range fuel rail pressure sensor
- •Clogged fuel filter or restricted fuel supply
- •Weak low-pressure (lift) pump feeding the high-pressure system
- •Leaking fuel injector bleeding off pressure
- •Wiring or connector fault to the regulator/pump
- •Air or contamination in the fuel system
P2293 on Ford by Model
Ford F-250 Super Duty(1 issue)
- 6.7L Power Stroke CP4 High-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure - Catastrophic Fuel System Contamination2011-2016
The 2011-2016 6.7L Power Stroke uses a Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure fuel injection pump that is fundamentally incompatible with North American diesel fuel specifications. US diesel fuel has lower lubricity than European fuel, and the CP4 pump relies on fuel for internal lubrication. Over time, the CP4 pump's internal metal components grind and generate metal shavings that are distributed throughout the entire high-pressure fuel system at 30,000+ PSI. Metal contamination destroys all downstream injectors, fuel rails, and low-pressure system components. A class action lawsuit filed against Ford alleges the company knew the CP4 was incompatible with US fuel. Catastrophic failure can occur as early as 80,000-120,000 miles and requires complete fuel system replacement costing $8,000-$15,000.

What does P2293 mean on Ford?▼
P2293 stands for "Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Performance." This code means the engine computer has detected that the fuel pressure regulator 2 isn't performing as expected, so the system can't maintain the correct fuel pressure under varying conditions. On many direct-injection and high-pressure systems, regulator 2 controls the high-side fuel pressure, and the computer compares commanded pressure to what the fuel pressure sensor actually reports. When the measured pressure drifts too far from the target, it sets this performance code, which can cause hard starting, rough running, hesitation, reduced power, or stalling.
