running problems

[mud4brains]

my vitara has started to play up abit, bear in mind its a 2.0 turbo diesel, will drive fine and then when i have worked the engine hard, like up a long hill or something and it stays at the same speed and sounds abit missfirey, then i let the gas off for abit and then drives fine

sound to me like fuel starvation, so changed filter and still happens

what do ya think guys???

cheers

sounds to me like over fuleing mate,

is it missing or poping,

the only reson i say that is my old mans dico did the same,turned out it was to much fuel :)

If you tried the air filter try the fuel cap off just in case of a blocked breather,make sure there is no crimped lines underneith. If all that fails then try some diesel cleaner that might help BUT if that fails take it to a diesel specialist for injectors to be tested and the pumpas well. Hope this helps.  :)
