Cdti 150 engine problems

[murga123]

Right where do I start....

I have a veccy Sri cdti 150, I was driving the other day when the engine stuttered abit then there was no power at all. So I took it to the garage and he said it was my inlet manifold so they changed that along with new timing belt etc. Got back in the car and no difference at all!! It only revs up to bout 3k n lacks any sort of power at all!!!!


Please help

have you got any codes mate?

[murga123]

The garage has told me that no codes are coming up when plugged in! All I know is that the spanner on top of a car flashes on dash n engine light is on!

ive had this on my vectra today. it turns out the egr vakve was stuck!!

give the egr valve a bang with a hammer and see if it helps!

cheers

before you put the key into the ignition Make sure that you Press the Break and the Throttle to the Floor ( max

Then turn the key on until The dash board come on and DONT START THE CAR

you should then get codes displayed where the milage would normally be

Well he said he's checked the egr valve and said it's alright! He said it may be sum mat to do with the injectors????

if the garage diagnosed it as the inlet manifold they should be footing the bill as its there poor diagnosis, id pull the egr valve off yourself and just makesure the plunger is moving freely, it only takes 10 mins so worth a try, maybe clean the boost sensor aswell and check for any air leaks anywhere, also does the turbo kick in?

3rd injector wire by the sounds of it. you need to get the modifield wire/plug which should sort it

if 3rd injector will sound like it's running on 3 cylinders and it'll be stuttery...
don't buy that about no codes. if the EML is on then there will be codes!
sounds like it is running limp home mode to me. does the turbo sound like it is spooling up?

[murga123]

Well the manifold was shot anyway! Turns out to be the 3rd injector so does it just need a new injector or summat else?
