Question fvSolution from sonicFoam to pimpleFoam

Hi all,
I usually run simulations using sonicFoamART, the sonicFoam solver with adjustable run time. I recently got a new server on which it is no longer possible to have sonicFoam and derivatives. If I understand correctly I can use rhoPimpleFoam instead of sonicFoam with the adjustable run time, because also rhoPimpleFoam adjusts the time step in the same way.
However, I think I have a problem with the definition of the new fvSolution file. The old file for sonicFoamART40 is
Code:
solvers
{
    "p.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCG;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-06;
        relTol          0;
    }

    "U.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCG;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0;
    }

    "rho.*"
    {
        solver          PCG;
        preconditioner  FDIC;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0;
    }

    "e.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCG;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0.1;
    }

    "omega.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCG;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0.05;
    }

    "k.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCG;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0.05;
    }

}
PIMPLE
{
    nOuterCorrectors     2;
    nCorrectors          2;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 3;
}
PISO
{
    nCorrectors     2;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 3;
}
So I tried to write the new fvSolution file for rhoPimpleFoam like this:

Code:
solvers
{
    "p.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCGStab;
        preconditioner  FDIC;
        tolerance       1e-06;
        relTol          0;
    }

    "U.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCGStab;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0;
    }

    "rho.*"
    {
        solver          PCG;
        preconditioner  DIC;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0;
    }

    "e.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCGStab;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0.1;
    }

    "omega.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCGStab;
        preconditioner  FDIC;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0.05;
    }

    "k.*"
    {
        solver          PBiCGStab;
        preconditioner  DILU;
        tolerance       1e-05;
        relTol          0.05;
    }

}
PIMPLE
{
    nOuterCorrectors     2;
    nCorrectors          2;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 3;
}
PISO
{
    nCorrectors     2;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 3;
}
However, something doesn't work because simulations that didn't have problems with sonicFoam in this way fail to progress after a certain relatively low time step, or crash almost immediately.

What did I do wrong? Maybe I need to change other files in the system folder in addition to the solver name in the controlDict file?

is there any error message?
can you post your terminal output ?
