Hi all,
Can anyone give me pointers as to what I can check out. My problem is that my Punto 1.9 JTD frequently has the check engine warning light coming on. Most times this causes no other problems but it is annoying. Other times I can loose all power and the car is limited to 3000 RPM . If I stop the engine and wait 10 mins it will start and mostly run fine, only occasionly needing a couple of resrts to return power.
The loss of power can happen anywhere wether I'm pootling down the A1 and just about to overtake , or just as I start the car in the morning.
I've read up on the forum and I think it may be either the MAF or EGR.
I am quite technical and don't mind getting my hands dirty but I have no clue where to start looking for the EGR (MAF is covered thanks to excellent guide on forum)
Cheers for your help
