Stutter Whilst Accelerating.

Uphillphil · Mar 19, 2012

Hi
I have started to notice that there is a momentary stutter of the engine whilst I accelerate in my 1999 TD5 Defender.
It feels as though there is water in the fuel.
I will drain the fuel filter, but does anyone have any different ideas.
Thanks.

Air in fuel line or lift pump?

New filter and diesel injector cleaner to start with. That's what cured my 200tdi!

Funny that this thread has came up as I have just fixed my problem which was something similar but mainly when I was pulling away as it seems sluggish and about to cut out. Also on accelerating it did feel like it was lacking power. It turned out to be a diesel feed to one of my injectors, the screw was loose and sucking in air.

Had similar probs with egr valves on other vehicles, stutter is a slow/ abrupt moving valve letting go.

I should check that oil is not seeping down the loom into your ecu, pull the plug out of the ecu and look for evidence of oil.
