Thread: Puma 2.4 Turbo - momentary cuts out

The manifold pressure never got over 34.5 and was mostly below that.

*as it is a 2.4, as already mentioned, the FCV, flow control valve is a common failure.
*other systems are poor starting, some clacky engine running.

*crankshaft position sensor is my guess, common fault on a 2.4 and rarely if ever brings up a fault code.

Interesting... my local LR mechanic has seen a couple of Turbo failures whereby the Turbo lets oil past and it gets trapped in the IC and builds up to the point where the engine then runs away on Engine Oil & destroys the engine.

I'm in a situation where my 2.4 is using starting to use Engine oil (about 1ltr/4000kms) and from what I can see there is no Blue smoke coming out the exhaust. When I take the engine oil filler cap off while engine it running I notice that the cap will not sit there but the local LR mechanic did mention that these engines do breath heavily and don't read too much into it. He also said that these 2.4's don't usually burn oil either.

I've checked my Air Intake for dust ingress and it's all good...

anyone with ideas/experiences as to what it might be as to why I've started to use engine oil (engine has 231,000kms on it)?
