 Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2019 19:37 Post subject: EGR related problems |
 |
|
Just bought another Shogun, an 06 plate 3.2 Auto 4 work although that is confusing as it has rear seats 
Just before it was loaded onto the recovery truck in Bathgate to come up to Aberdeen I was told it had cut out three times and seemed to lack power 
Here we go I thought, a lemon
On removing the EGR i noticed it was stuck fully open 
Hoping the sticky EGR valve is the only problem
Sticky EGR valve was the problem, plenty power now the EGR has been blanked and associated pipework removed to save weight, now just suspension all round

Probably needs the inlet cleaning.
At the very least, try clearing out the outlet that the map sensor connects to as it blocks up. |

Have sent away for a s/h air intake to clean and put on so time off the road is minimalist
Should also have mentioned that as far as I'm led to believe she has not been run much in last year + so might be a memory fade ? |

| Don't forget that if that blank plate is visible (eg shiny!) and/or throws a CEL it will fail an MOT |

Thanks for your reminder, as usual I leave the EGR in place and connected but all associated pipework and gas cooler have been removed so no codes and no bad gasses  |

| After the good result with blanking the egr my beastie was not idling, after a few attempts at resetting the idle memory it will tick over until put into R or D and just cuts out then takes a good few turn to fire up again so I'm in the process of stripping the air intake manifold off to clean it all and if that does not have the desired effect then its fuel pipe replacement, especially the metal pipes on top of the tank |

Had mine stall in traffic with the same problem today, of course when the RAC turned up, the problem would not replicate (ain't that the way!). I'll be having a look at the EGR valve tomorrow, but in the mean time, did cleaning the inlet work, or did you have to replace anything? |

It asn't the EGR valve in my case - seems that was replaced earlier this year by the PO (I've got the paperwork on it). In my wagon's case, it was a clogged fuel filter that did not appear to have been changed since March last year  SO, I've replaced that today, and the wagon now runs fine. And am I mighty glad about that |
