I'm wondering whether the CDI suffers from the "biodegradable" wiring that I hear other report on...


My issue.
"Coolant level low" on dash several months ago. It comes on every time I start it. Replaced level sensor with new one, same message. Swapped know good sensor from my other CDI, same message.


Then, car sat for a month while I was repairing some minor front end damage.


Now "Batt visit workshop" with come on while driving. My scangauge which is always connected to the OBDII port report 13.9v consistently. Message will disappear, then return some time later. Its a recent battery, and cranks strongly.


Glow plug light will come on while driving, stay on for several miles, then go off.


CEL will come on...code P2015, which is intake manifold flaps. Car goes into limp mode...no turbo, no downshifts until stopped. Disconnected swirl flap linkage, still get the CEL and limp mode returns within a couple miles of resetting code.


I disconnected batt for a full minute, hoping it may reset. Still same issues.


Putting these all together, it seems like the computer has gone bonkers. Any ideas?


The limp mode is the most troubling, because it truly makes the car unreliable.
