Hi,
I have a 2005 TD4 that developed a problem of when cruising at around 2.5-3K revs it would suddenly feel like the engine stops for a split second and also when starting from cold it would start on tickover but when you pressed the accelerator pedal the revs wouldnt increase and you had to feather the pedal to get the revs up, once warm it would rev ok, after reading similar problems on here I dissconected the MAF and started the engine from cold, the engine started ok and revved ok but sounded like a can of spanners rattling and I got lots of smoke out of the exhaust, is this normal when the MAF is disconected? and because the engine revved ok does that indicate a faulty MAF? when I re-connected the MAF the noise and smoke went but the lack of revving until warm came back.
Thanks for reading this long winded post and appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Les
