Title: Engine running lumpy - EML on - then off again??
Post by: denerinian on 02 March 2009, 17:48:52

Hi all
Need some help / ideas please - Started my car this afternoon,  after using it most of the day , and the engine imediately ran very lumpy and eml came on - was'nt far from home so managed to get home but eml went off during the journey and car running smoother - but will only run smooth if revs increased slowly - a sharp dab on the accelerator pedal and it will run lumpy like a misfire - but will run quite smooth at 3, 4, 5k revs - I checked on my cheapo code reader but no fault stored  - any ideas what i should check - a similar fault has happened before to me and that fault code was egr but this corrected itself without cleaning egr valve - maybe has fault re-occured?? egr need cleaning ??

have you checked for leaking camcover seals/flooded plugs/coilpack?

try blocking EGR with a metal plate..but dont plug off..

if the fault occurs again then its not EGR..
