HighLUX Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Work ute is 07 rodeo VCDI turbo diesel thing, what would cause it to randomly cut out and then go into a limp mode and the engine light appear when you restart it? At a guess its got something to do with the air intake sensor thingy because if I unplug it then plug it back in I will be fine again for a bit. It used to do it once every couple days but now you cant go 20mins without it doing it which is not good when it cuts out infront of 1800t of logs being pushed my way.

johnnyfive Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'd be surprized if it were airflow meter related, most common (& similar sounding) problem we've been having is the fuel supply solenoid going a bit daft due to contamination/can't handle having much shit through it. Theres been a couple different revised solenoids from memory that shouldn't shit the bed so easily, and a finer fuel filter available also. Got a way to pull the codes from it?

HighLUX Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hmmm sounds like it could be the problem as it does funny things like rev but very slowly like its not getting enough fuel then just comes right. Was guessing airflow related as it eats alot of dust everyday, can you pull codes like toyota stz? or is it OBD2 blackmagic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 there's usually a way of flashcoding them without tecII i think? my pos 04 rodeo work ute is gutless as and didn't throw a code for the air flow sensor but apparently that's what's wrong. weird.

HighLUX Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Sounds like Iv got to book it in for you to play with now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah looks like you can still flash codes out of these which surprises me a bit. But yeah being your works vehicle, bringing it in might be the best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
