    Td5 revs at will.

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue. Pulled up at work the other day and as I've rolled to a stop and depressed the clutch, the revs shot up to about 3000 for around 2 or 3 seconds. Twas a scary moment. Incase its age or model specific, we're talking '99 D2 td5.

    There's been a thread about similar symptoms quite recently, have a squiz in either the disco or defender sections, most likely the same issue.

    no, you cant, it can still be the turbo seal, of course It could also be a noisey TPS track.

    For peace of mind I would be pulling the turbo-intercooler hose and eyeballing it.

    Dave, I'm still pretty sure the old girl is not taking a sly slurp of texas tea. Any oil burnt, regardless of its origin will result in blue smoke. Also, given this so far is a one off incident, I'd be leaning toward your 2nd option. So, what is a noisey TPS track?

    TPS is throttle position switch, so I'm guessing some sort of interference with that
    That's the limit of my electrical knowledge unfortunately

    not always... have a look at MEN oil burning heaters.

    muppets on the money, the TPS is essentially just a variable resistor usually its failure method is a dead spot in the throttle but theres no reason a contaminated one couldn't throw a high rpm request.

    Fair enough Dave, thanks to all for the feedback. Next question, will an early nanocom pick up a fault in the TPS.
