Intermittent Limp

Cosmos12345 · Jun 22, 2021

Still having a slight issue
intermittent limp, seems to only happen under low load at about 2000rpm

will reset by turning ignition off then back on, for a while

Will cruise without issue at 70 on dual carriageway

Have you tried reading fault codes?

2004 freelander td4, no codes being given
It broke down due to a delaminated turbo outlet pipe last month, fixed the pipe but since then have been having the engine light come on( at least 8 times within a 32 mile drive), kinda goes into a limp mode the clears itself when ignition is turned off and back on, not really enjoying doing this at 50mph

Changed the pump and filter under the rear wheel arch, it does seem a tad better, however it still threw a couple of lights (engine with the ! Symbol)
could the in tank primary be causing the problem

if the low pressure pump be under wheel arch .. then there's no in-tank pump [afaik]

try :
disconnecting the maf sensor .. if it runs better like that .. replace the maf ..
[ a faulty maf usualy causes issues under 2000rpm
[ and doesn't illuminate the dash warning light afaik
& ..
giving the fuel rail sensor plug / socket a good clean ..
[ note : .. corrosion can also affect the wiring harness ]
water ingress to that plug be a known issue ..
that LR fixed by offering an upgraded plug 'n harness ..
[ only small voltage thru that circuit .. 5v down to millivolts ]

Update:

after the initial breakdown I replaced the turbo solenoid before I went on to discover that my turbo to intercooler hose had delaminated, the hose had caused the breakdown

I have now refitted the original solenoid and the car runs fine

new pump is a little noisy but working

so it turned out to be a dodgy eBay solenoid
