200tdi Lumpy tickover.

(1/3) > >>

Wanderer:
My Disco 200tdi has developed a lumpy (erratic) tickover and it hunts with something like about 300 revs up and down.

Any ideas?

Clean your filters and pipes out.. check for water.
Have a good look around for leaks in the pipes
See if the lift pump is OK

Might be early signs of an injector pump problem.

Wanderer:
Thanks Tim.

That's what is worrying me.

The air filter was bit clogged with Welsh undegrowth, bits of branches etc. I even managed to find a broken bit off the end of the snorkel in there :)

There doesn't seem to be any leaks on the air in side of things. Like a pr@ I stuck my hand over the air filter and it managed to suck my hand onto it and stalled the engine (not to be recommended it hurts  :oops: ) I cupped my hand and tried to choke the engine and couldn't get it to raise the revs even when it was severely restricted.

I'll dig around the lift pup etc in the morning when it's a bit lighter.

I Remember somebody doing that on somebody's intake while in the passenger seat a while back while I was following :wink:  :lol:
