geldy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 has anybody any ideas,my td5 2002 ,was towing horse trailer,when it seemed to miss and temp needle shot up to red loss of power but when you backed of the revs a bit went back to normal but put it back under load it kept doing it again, but no sign of over heating,cheers dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWhite Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Might be oil in the loom (red plug into ECU under driver's seat) causing a misfire. Did the gauge go up instantly or creep up? If instantly, could be a poor earth (most likely white connector which screws onto a terminal inside the engine bay, directly in front of instrument panel.)

If instantly, could be a poor earth (most likely white connector which screws onto a terminal inside the engine bay, directly in front of instrument panel.) the needle shot fast and loss of power but when i backed of the revs went back to normal,got of the moterway and at about 40 mph it seemed normal,cheers dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Chua Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 it could be your water pump. mine temp went up instantly to the red and then when to the blue after. cos the system didn't have any coolant at the point of the coolant sensor. after letting it sit for awhile, all's back to normal. but if it keeps doing it, there is a PROBLEM. fix it before some worse happens.

landy andy. Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Put an extra earth to the relay and ECU mounting plate and check main power feeds for relay. Hope this helps http://www.devon4x4.com/forum/general-enquiries/td5-performance/ Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
