I’m having some trouble with my 1999 Fiat Ducato camper.
For the past few weeks, the engine sometimes keeps running for a bit after switching it off (dieseling). This usually happens after only driving a short distance.
About two weeks ago another issue started: the engine occasionally stalls while driving, but it can be restarted right away. This only happens at lower speeds (around 10–50 km/h).
Since last week it’s gotten worse — the engine now completely cuts out. After letting it sit for a short while it will start again. It mostly happens when the engine has been under heavy load, for example climbing a hill. After revving hard for about 45 minutes, it just dies.
The fuel filter has already been replaced, the diesel and the tank are clean.
At idle, the engine runs fine — even after two hours it doesn’t stall.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
