Thread: Here's a good one !!!!

Not much... Blocking the air intake is probably the only practical way to do it.

Not sure how to stop it either but do know its a start of something big $$$.

Wow that's not cool...did you end up getting it stopped??? I used to stall my old 1984 XE Falcon whenever I did a hand brake turn and got it turned around 180 degrees really quickly...don't know if I'd recommend that though you might roll it

give an auto elec a call, he'll be able to tell you what you need to do, you probably have a relay stuck on, which is not letting you electrically isolate when you try to shut down the engine..


best of luck

you could pull the battery out and it would still run on, this thing is running on engine oil!

Only thing that works on an auto (manual you can usually stall in gear) is to suffocate it. Put something rigid over the air intake to seal it. NOT your hand it will break, and not rags they can just get sucked in destroying the filter and turbo. Common problem with Peugeot diesels for a while and it happened to me on a 4 pot marinised diesel mercedes yacht engine.

if your quick, lucky and game enough.

keep it up against the wall with the bonnet open, block the air intake and stab a hole into the turbo intercooler hoses.

If you can get the boost pressure off the extra load from the auto will stall out the 300tdi if its running on engine oil.

If it hasn't actually happened yet, fit a cable operated butterfly into the air intake by the manifold, then all you need is to pull a knob and it stops. A basic EFI one could easily be adapted.
