Morning, had a mare of a weekend so fort id put up a post to see if anyones had the same problem or has any idea what it is..
Basically, on the way down to PVS my car started to judder when i accelerated and then engine management light came on (massivly missfiring). It got worse and worse until eventually wouldnt run atall. I'd had this problem when I had my dblias fitted on a previous engine so straight away knew it was something to do with the egr. Did a paperclip test anyway and it was 0400 - EGR so I blanked it off on the side of the M1. It started up and was driveable again but still kangarooed a bit but managed to get to PVS. After about 2 hours driving around looking for a camping spot we finally found one and parked up but then about 2 hours later when I came to start my car it refused. Had a bit of a tinker and managed to get it running but it sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders. Checked the spark plugs and they were covered so cleaned them up but no joy. Its seriously overfueling but nothings coming up on the ecu when I do the paperclip test.
After a 6 hour tow home I changed my egr and it still wont start up properly. Im gonna nip it down to the garage later today but has anyone got any idea what it could be? If it was a sensor surely it would show up on the paperclip test?
