Hello,
I have a Fiat Ducato Multijet 100, 2.2, 2008.
When i start the engine after having been turned off a couple of hours (no matter if it's a cold or warm day) the idle is struggling. This disappears if the engine becomes just a little bit warmer. I think the idling has gotten worse in the last month though so i'm not sure if the idle is 100% when the engine is warm neither, but almost 100% for sure.

What have been done is the following;
Changed MAF sensor
Changed MAP sensor
Changed glowplugs
What i am a little unsure about but don't have the money for looking up at the moment is the following;
Injectors (there is some leakage, either fuel or oil, from one of them i think).
Perhaps it can be the EGR valve too? I'm not sure....Or a vaccum leak somewhere perhaps...
In one way it seems likely that it could be the fuel injectors, but, should that disappear when the engine becomes a bit warmer? Perhaps yes though since their precision is most needed when it's cold or? I also read that a vaccum leak may disappear when engine gets warmer due to hoses expanding etc.
Another thing i noticed during the winter when it was very cold outside one day was that it sounded like the engine went on 3 cylinders for some second after start - perhaps this is also a symptom of bad injectors. This current rough idling was not as apparent then though.
Anyways, i know that idling issues are very difficult to narrow down without proper equipment but since i think the sound of this rough idle is quite particular, it sounds like it goes up & down and dissapears when engine gets warm, maybe it's possible to have some type of reasoning about it.
Kind Regards
Jonathan
