Greetings to everyone from Tenerife, but my TD4 does not like the heat !:doh:
On a nasty bend and a steep incline my freelander would not go any further and ground to an abrupt halt...... blast.
The clutch was down and the engine was ticking over nicely but a 'yellow' engine warning light came on and stayed on. So, I tried to move on but realised that the accelerator pedal was not giving me any revs !
Having let the car slide back and off the road out of any danger...... I then restarted the engine (first time) and again saw the 'yellow' engine warning light. Again the car was ticking over nicely but the pedal did not increase the revs even at standstill.
Having left it for half an hour the problem disappeared !
I have also been suffering gentle motorway surges recently.... Could this also be an indication that the accelerator pot and wiring needs checking.
There is something beneath the pedal isn't there but where does the wiring go and How do I check it?
Where would I be without this forum?
Answer:- Parked in the underground car park.........
