2.2 Diesel Idling

[jshrichard]

I have a 55 plate avensis 2.2 D4D that's just started to have a couple of faults I think may be linked, first is the idle used to be 800rpm hot and 1200 cold but now it's about 1000 rpm when hot and it's started to hunt up and down by about 100rpm either side like your sitting gently reving. Also sometimes it's starts then cuts out immediately I have to rev it to keep it running any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Issue sorted, good old egr valve, cleaned it and hey presto! Also as a side bonus I hadn't realised just how much power and responsiveness I'd lost its literally like driving a new car again.
