Hi there,
A two weeks ago i did notice that my idle is a bit shaky, but nothing happened until 3 days ago when my Freelander TD4 '03 suddenly start chocking and stall in slow traffic. Changed fuel filter and fuel pump, as filter wasn't changed for last 6 years I think. I'm thinking of replacing cam sensor and boost pressure sensor. Last the time I did EGR mod whole manifold was caked so cleaned it out (sensor too but it look clean inside). I did notice that inlet manifold looks a bit strange: on the edges, where they joining two half's of the inlet, are some gaps between two parts, but I don't know how far they are or if they are leaking.
You can start engine in cold or hot, its working normally for 15-20 minutes then you can see idle slowly start to move and if you give a few good revs it will start to work irregular and stall eventually.
After you can try to start - it won't. Give a hour and its back again.
Any ideas cos this is puzzling me and I need my car to work and I this scenario I can't even drive to petrol station next door..
Any ideas more then welcome ;-)
PS. Forgot to add: When you switch on AC it will kill the engine very quickly, but maybe just because of strain on the engine?
