TD5 130 Defender

What revs does it lose power? I had fuel pump go on Weds. seemed to rev fine up to 3500 then just would not go higher even if foot flat to floor, also had no guts. No smoke noticed, no errors on ECU but noticed when I got home no sound of pump. :mad: Checked power at pump working ok, guage was ok but nothing from pump. Put in a new one and now all well again...:D When I took the old pump off it was covered in black slime, sputtered a bit when connected to battery but effectively u/s.

Still new here but could I suggest disconnecting the MAF sensor and giving it a run, sounds similar to symptoms described else where on the forum.:)
Easy thing to check and discount quickly.
Replace the EGR as the amount of gunk you find in the inlet is hideous.
Much reduced smoke on mine after fitting the blanking kit.
Cheers Lionel

well i just went for a drive with the MAF sensor disconnected

and it made no difference at all ................

you don't need a Nanocom to work out what faults you have, just ask your wife;):p

You are welcome to use mine Ray, might have to drive up here though!

I had dramas with my chipped 130 TD5 on way to the Cooma 60th from perth last year. Kept loosing power. Turned out to be the electronic throttle control. If you have fitted cruise control see if it runs ok on cruise. If so the throttle might be the problem
