1.9 Diesel Problems

[fathercarl166]

Hello, I am hoping someone here can help as I drawing a blank.

 

I have a non turbo 2004 Diesel Berlingo, 

 

It's failing to rev above 2000, and bellowing out thick black sooty smoke. I know this is due to not enough air in the fuel mix. So far I have blanked off the egr pipe, and disconnected the exhaust but it is still blowing thick smoke and failing to rev.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Checked the air filter?

you need to get a diagnostic done on it before you go any further. Is the engine running smooth or is it jumping round as id be thinkining injectors

I have run the diagnostic computer and it doesn't show any fault codes, i've unplugged the two little pipes from under the egr valve and now she revs fine but there is still the smoke. Ive also removed the air filter all together with no avail :(

Check the turbo pipes for splits or leaks.

Does your diagnostic do live data if so whats it saying for the injectors. if not then id be doing a leak of test on them. have you recently done any work on the engine or had any problems with the van

I will do the leak off tomorrow basically a bottle from the injector return pipe right? What am I supposed to be looking at in the live data? Thanks Carl

live data will show you what your injectors are doing and save you doinf=g a leak of test. also live data will show u hat your engine is doing how much air and fuel and that the engine is running inside its parameters, what area are you in

I'm in Southwick near Brighton, is the Maf sensor likely to have any effect?

Have ordered a lexia 3 system, but what am I looking for when it arrives?
