Just a quick one hopefully. I've done a search on this on here and have symptoms for two possible causes i think?
Basically, i have a 1.9mJet and started her up this morning, started fine but then started to stutter and misfire. There was a large amount of smoke coming out of the exhaust and when i put my foot on the accelerator (not in gear, just sat on the drive) revs would only climb to around 1500-2000 with a large plume of lightly coloured smoke.
I had a similar problem on my Stilo previously and it turned out to be EGR valve. I'm just after confirmation really.
Also would this contribute to intermittent starting problems? ive had my crank shaft sensor replaced due to non starting issues which solved it but it seems to be creeping back in, i'm hoping this is linked to whatever problem i have now.
Was going to try a clean of the EGR to see if it cures the problem.
Thanks in advance.
