Hi
My 00' Defender seems to go into "limp mode" when I start it up. It won't rev above 1500 or 2000 would that would be my guess as i donut have a rev counter. It's almost impossible to drive, no power and misfiring. When I try to rev it up it, the ECU gives off a click sound as if it keeps it for getting above 1500
I though I located the problem, because the wires on the sensor assy on the fuel filter was ripped off somehow. I replaced it with a new one, but it didn't seem to make a difference at all. It's still difficult for it to start, little pulling power, and sometimes stalls. etc etc.
There is a tiny bit of oil in the red plug that goes into the ECU, could that be the issue? I know it's a well known problem with the loom leaking, so I should properly get it changed too. It just seems too little to make it a problem, but I could be wrong.
I have checked and cleaned the EGR, it seems to work fine, disconnected the MAF without luck, checked for clocked air filter, checked earth connections, fuse boxes and what not.
Is there some faults codes on the ECU that needs to be cleared after I fixed the fuel sensor?
I'm pretty lost, so any advice is much appriciated.
