Hi all. Thanks to this forum I think I've pinpointed the fault with my 1999 TD5 ES. It started to misfire intermitently, having just turned 70,000 miles.
I found the red multiplug to the ECU and it was full (almost literally!) with oil. I cleaned it out but the problem came back after a day or two. I used WD40 as it was all I had at the time and only did the ECU end so probably not thorough enough.
Anyway, I'm awaiting delivery of a new injector harness which should be here in a few days.
My question is, can I still use the vehicle and will it cause any long term damage. I was hoping to travel about 200 mile round trip at the weekend.
Not overly comfortable with "lumpy running" but better than my other car which my wife refuses to get into!
At the moment I'm just hoping it's the harness that's at fault of course...I may well be asking more questions if that doesn't work!!
Thanks
James
