Hi there, long time reader first time poster looking for advice,
I've a 04 lwb 140k on the clock,(reg service) never missed a beat in my 6 years including the battery!!!
However I feel an injector problem fast approaching...Recently its started to lose power and then the eml would come on
and it would cut out, won't start on the key however, a tow of 20ft and away it goes until I let the engine idle, then the light comes on
and 20secs later it cuts out. Process of elimination-- I took off the tank flushed it out(a lot of gunk) flushed the lines and put in a new filter and new battery---No change!!
To sum up I can go out to it any morning and it will start first time(even after laying up for a week) and it ticks over fine. No knocks etc!! If i then drive for
a mile or 2, come to a junction and let the engine idle, it'll cut out!! (may or may not start on the key) but it will start with a tow of 10/20 feet!! This is
repeated at 2 more junctions till I get home. If I repeat that route but keep the revs above 2000rpm it'll make the trip but as soon as i get back to the yard
and let her idle, she cuts out.....injectors???...........Aaaaaaaaargh
Please help, have to drive her Sante Fe
Any recommendations on where to go? I'm in Kildare
Thanks in advance
