Nemesis: Taupe 1991 300D 2.5
I have been reading up and still have no answers (well, I have learned some pretty cool stuff, but nothing that helps at the moment). I have pulled the intake pipe that comes over the top of the engine to make it a natually asperated diesel and eliminate any and all issues w/ EGR/intake flap/boost control/etc. I have also unhooked the ALDA so it is only getting atmospheric pressure (not that it should matter w/ no boost in the intake). Still having the following prob:
Vehicle refuses to go over 2k rpms under load. If I unhook the sensor connectors (2) on the Injection Pump it will go over 2k and even shift up, but it takes me almost 2/3 of a mile to get over 30mph.
My "friend" whom I was doing a "favor" for by working on his car is now threatening legal action if he doesn't get it back soon and I have run out of $ to fight this thing (and options as to what could be wrong). Assuming that the computer has no control over the IP (as I have read) why the heck does it not go over 2k rpms with it hooked up?!? And if tit's not the computer, then what? The control rod in the IP is sticking? What else could be wrong??
Some one suggested checking the screen in the fuel tank, but I don't see how anything could be clogging that up as it has only been sitting a couple months during this work. Right??
Please; any ideas of suggestions would rock. The last thing I want to do (or can afford) is to have it flatbedded 70mi to the dealership so they can read the codes!! (Can I do that w/ a muti-meter like on a gasser?!?! HOW??)
Thanks all for your patience and assistance!
