Hello people. Let's see if anyone here has had this same problem.
I have been suspecting my MAF is out of order because under high torque/power demand above 3,000 rpms you can feel a sudden (slight) loss of power as if the turbo suddently cut back its boost.
This was the only symptom until yesterday's morning...
I cranked up the car, waited a few seconds, moved the stick to Reverse, and as I was pulling out the clutch and started to request power from my engine it started misfiring as if it had no fuel. I pressed the gas pedal and it ran really nasty, lots of smoke. I drove off to work and noticed that the faulty behaviour occurs only in a specific throtle position....
Even at normal temperature, when driving at or around that specific throtle position, you can easily feel the uneven firing and a cloud of smoke out the exhaust.
I have added a double dose of Diesel Kleen to see if the fault goes away, thinking it might be a fuel/injectors related problem...
Whay do you people think about this ? Oh, and there is no CEL...
What are the symptoms of "air bubbles" in the fuel system ?
