Hey, i have a ducato 2012, 2.3 130 multijet
it seems like shortly after starting the van is in limp mode/low power
i've had an engine light basically since i bought it related to the EGR valve but it hasnt caused this problem, and checking again shows no new code. it started happening recently (which kind of prompted me to service the whole EGR system)
the oil levels should be fine and not too many ks on it, as well as the filter
as for the egr problem, i've been told (though not sure how reliable they are) that the fault is probably in the wiring/ecu
anyway, my main question is about what seems to be limp mode, it only happens when it first starts for a few minutes, at the start it wont rev at all above idle, then limited to about 1500, then eventually it seems the restriction is lifted.. anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?
the code for the egr is p0487, if anyone has any ideas about that too
i'll take it to a professional soon if necessary but i prefer to try and learn and fix things myself first
