  1. P0087 Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low High

    The P0087 code means the computer commanded a specific fuel pressure and the rail sensor measured a clearly lower value. On common rail diesels it is a serious code: the engine can go into limp mode or not start at all, and behind it there is usually a clogged filter, a worn high pressure pump or injectors that return more fuel than they should.
