Loss of power, lumpy tickover-help

ovalbay · Jan 23, 2011

Would appreaciate some advise please.
Have a 2001 TD5 auto. Was running fine until today. Notice when I pulled into services, it was idling a bit lumpy. Rejoined moterway and as soon as it hit an incline, it strugled to maintain power and shuddered. Had to use kickdown to maintain speed. No smoke, no overheating, no warning lights.
Any advice on where to start looking would be appreaciated.
Thanks in advance

sounds like it could be oil in the injector loom. Check the red plug that goes into the ecu for signs of oil contamination.

I agree with that. ^^^

It may also be a failing/failed fuel pump.Check for the pump whirring when ignition is switched on.
