Right, had a little around, but can't find any answers.
Experience is the best way to start...
My 1.9 120 runs lovely, until it warms up a bit. Then as soon as you get to a junction/traffic lights etc, it decides it doesn't like to idle. It splutters slightly, rocks about a bit and goes into limp mode, hovering just over 1000rpm. Sometimes you can put your foot down and it clears, but mostly you have to 'turn it off and turn it on again' (Which, during these dark days, makes me look like a bit of a sex pest with me turning headlights on and off at traffic lights)
It's been baffling me for a while. It stopped for a few months during the summer, but it's entered my life again for the past month. Trying to navigate the traffic of the Leicester southern ring road is bad enough without having to keep restarting every 5 minutes.
So, I've tried.
Cleaning the Boost sensor (again)
Cleaned the EGR valve (Only 9 months since it was replaced)
Cleaned the MAF sensor
About the change the fuel filter (Once I can get the housing apart. Eeek)
Tried to force a DPF regen last night (Though, I only had 8 miles of the M1 to play with before hitting the Leicester gridlock)
When I tried an ECU scan, nothing out the ordinary turned up. Though, I'll try and dig out the cable and give it a go again.
Anything weird anyone can think of?
Thanks muchly
