    Can you help me figure out a fault code my machine is displaying – P1086-11. I’m not sure if -11 matters, but that’s what it says. Has been sitting a few months not moving. It starts no problem but idles real low and quiet. Won’t throttle up. Pull throttle handle up and engine doesnt change from weak idle. Also leaking engine oil. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with that. If you could give me an answer soon I’d appreciate it. I’m going to atemp to fix oil leak.I just need to know the fault code so I know what to check and fix it. thank you. Machine is a 1cxt tracked loader.

    1. David R. Ledford

      The fault code P1086-11 on your JCB 1CXT tracked backhoe loader points to a Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low condition — and specifically with static or slow response. Suffix “11” – General fault; often indicates permanent or active fault, not intermittent.

      Likely Causes of P1086-11 on JCB 1CXT:

      1) Low Fuel Rail Pressure Causes:
      – Faulty fuel rail pressure sensor;
      – Faulty or sticking fuel pressure relief valve or regulator;
      – Weak or malfunctioning high-pressure fuel pump;
      – Air or debris in the fuel lines (from sitting for months);
      – Clogged fuel filter;
      – Bad fuel (degraded diesel or water in fuel)

      2) Electronic or Sensor Issues:
      – Corroded connectors or damaged wiring to the fuel rail pressure sensor;
      – ECU not receiving proper throttle position signal

      3) Throttle Control Issues:
      – Faulty electronic throttle actuator;
      – Defective or stuck throttle position sensor;
      – Rodent or moisture damage from sitting idle

      1. David R. Ledford

        Steps to Troubleshoot & Fix:

        1. Visual inspection first – Check for rodent damage, chewed wiring, or disconnected sensors. Inspect the fuel rail sensor connector (often located on the common rail)

        2. Check fuel system – Drain old fuel and replace with fresh diesel. Replace the fuel filter. Check for air in fuel lines (prime system if needed). Look for leaks in fuel supply or return lines

        3. Test electronic system – Scan the machine with a JCB ServiceMaster diagnostic tool (if available). Test the fuel rail pressure sensor with a multimeter or diagnostic scan. Inspect and test the electronic throttle actuator

        4. Identify source of oil leak — possibly related to injector seals, valve cover, or turbo oil feed line. Oil leaks can cause pressure loss or sensor contamination.
