Hello guys,
my 89 Transit Van with 2.5d Engine and Lucas injection gives me a headache. (I am just mooving my appartement, so its really a pain)
Mostly it runs super smooth, but sometimes, so far always when its hot outside the engine stops out of nowhere.
Following things happen:
1.) Motor starts run on low RPM in idle, the car is shakeing
2.) When I push the throttle, nothing happens (or when lucky, it takes a while to react)
3.)Motor stops completely at some point
To restart the Engine, I had to use Break-Cleaner to spray it in the air-intake. This helps not too much when engine is hot, it starts but it fails again soon. If engine is cold, all is fine after a little spray.
My battery is full, and the starter is in good condition. I guess there is not enough gas injection. But how is it controlled on this van?
Please help, I dont even want to try to go to the dealer as I heard bad stories.
Thanks a lot!
Stefan, Austria
