It sounds like the fuel rail pressure sensor is not plugged it or is bad I would start by checking the connection and if good replace the sensor.

Hi thanks for your reply I fitted the engine as I am a mechanic just wanted a second appinen but I am arguing with the supplyer of the engine because they are saying it must have happened since I have had it even though it has never ran since it was fitted I have never heard this but would it matter about the angle of the valve on the pump as the only differance is the old pump senser is at 45degrees and the orther pump senser is straight would this cause the fault my next step is to change the pump but soon as I remove it the waranty would be void

I have the same problem. Have changed pressure-sensor and regulator.
Always pressure too high. I had to replace the ECU with a used one. Thanks all and greets from Germany

Hi everybody.

The P1166 fault code on your 2006 Citroen Picasso indicates that the fuel rail pressure is too high. This code suggests a potential issue with the fuel system.
