Hi Lads & Lasses(?),
for some while now I have been having trouble with my Doblo.
Its a 1.9D (non-turbo) type 223.
The EML started to come on a few months ago but would always go out and there was no loss of power. This developed into the motor cutting out when the EML came on.
It has now "hardened" into a semi permanent fault, as follows.
EML on = runs like a choke is on and no response to the throttle, although the revs move up and down a couple of hundred.
I read about "resetting" the ECU... that possible? Anyway, if I disconnect the battery (+ & -) overnight, the motor starts but with the EML on. Turn it off and restart and all is sweetness and light and the EML is off with a steady tickover.
Turn it off and restart - back ti EML on and "choked" running with oscillating RPM.
Turn it off and restart - sweetness and light. Repeat Ad nauseam for the rest of the day. When the EML is off, the van drives normally for any length of time... until you turn it off.
The next day, its almost impossible to get the EML off without starting it with about one-third throttle and holding that until the EML goes out... takes a few times though.
I'm thinking electrics, but where to look. I'm waiting for an ELM327 interface to arrive for the laptop as none of the code readers I have tried show any errors.
HELP!
Cheers,
John
