on a simular note

Got in my d2 td5 tonight when it started it was reving at about 1,000 rpm with a miss like it was a petrol engine cleared after 30 seconds and drives ok it normally runs a bit lumpy on start up when its realy cold but a dab of the pedal soon sorts it






its had new airflow meter de egrd no cat ss centre pipe new injector loom no oil in ecu

Check the throttle position sensor

Without sounding stupid how do i do it

U can do that just by touch...shake it's plug a bit and see if it's any play there...it must be quite compact coz it's integral with the pedal assembly
U have to remove the padal to totally see it.

Ive had a wiggle i will see how it goes tommorow ive had a feeling for a while the censor was naff as it drives differently when it chooses i think its been mapped as when it feels like it is quick as in better than v8.It seems when i stab the throttle it goes like **** but if i drive sencibly like gently on the gas it aint too special if i change the censor will i have to plug it into nanocom?i can tune a v8 with webber by ear and get it running sweet but all this censor stuff has me fazed

U just have to replace it no need for tester ...on this one

I keep putting images maybe everyone will see how usefull RAVE it is

Thanks for that my pc is like me old im going to get rave put on disk at work any idea were i can buy censor and peddle at reasonable price

I'd say investigate better first to make sure b4 u spend money....it was just a possible cause...might be other fault....wont hurt to plug it in a tester first. The TP sensor is not a cheap part and be aware there are two kinds > up to VIN 297136 and after.

Thanks for all your help illkeep you informed

I would suggest there is nothing wrong with your car.

Although its a 5 cylinder, it only has 4 glow plugs, so that cylinder needs to "warm up" first to run right, thats why when its very cold its a little lumpy but clears with a bit of throttle.

Perfectly normal TD5 behaviour imo.

Cheers mate your probably right im always trying to make it better ive never driven another td5 to compare it tooor had someone who owns one drive mine
