Coop748 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 First post so treat me nice! Above vehicle. I’m second owner. First owner is a very good friend. Car has never been in a collision. Around 156k miles. In March 2022 recently fitted timing belt kit tensioner bolt fell out. Engine lunched. Top end refurbed. Ran fine. Under load vibrated harshly between 1500 and about 2250 revs at any speed any gear. Replaced DMF. No change. Replaced clutch box. No change. Replaced drive shafts. No change. Have now replaced the motor with a pre-owned lump. Bit of a change but still vibrates. No fault codes on diagnostics. Cruises lovely. Not great under load Any suggestions?

Coop748 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Any suggestions? Wondered if it could be an injector issue but no fault codes are being thrown up. Definitely RPM range related and not speed related as the shudders are in Rev range and not speed range. Dead frustrating.

Steve Q Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Could it be an intermittent issue with the MAF sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve Not throwing it up on diagnostics but worth a good look. If I disconnect the MAF and the car behaves the same would that be a good indication of an issue there?

But when I had idling and stalling issues on a old Volvo 940 2.3 petrol a few years ago, when I disconnected the MAF it ran better which proved it was a faulty MAF. Which my diagnosis proved correct.

Coop748 Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Just had the vehicle on a basic OBD tester. Can anyone help decipher these values? MAF - Tickover 9.11g/s 2500RPM 33.11g/s MAP - Tickover 98Kpa 2500RPM 119Kpa Are those values anywhere near where they should be? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
