problem

[callum1]

i have a weird problem. a week ago i was driving my recently aquired sprinter. and after about 40min of driving all of a sudden it lost acceleration. even with the foot on the floor. then it came back. and went. and so on till i pulled over. turned it off for a bit then went again and same thing after a few hundred meters. i filled it up with ultimate and put a bottle of injector cleaner in. and it solved the problem for a week. but when i was drivin to the coast after bout 30min of reasonably enthusiastic driving same problem.

anyone ever had this before .any ideas on what i can do to stop it? its AGZE.

Not sure could be loose wire ect ect.
Sound like fuel to me.
Maybe clean out tank? New fuel filter.
Then check wiring.
There's a few things it could be really.

i was thinking feul filter. havnt changed it yet. how would i go about cleaning my fuel tank?

So you know, put this in tech question's next time, but yeh, id start with your fuel filters.

[dr1ft-pig]

undo the drain plug on the bottom of the tank and drain the fuel out of itput another tank of just unleaded and then drain again

after you check and change fuel and filters,

check your sc clutch, it may not be engaging properly,

do you have a boost gauge?? check your manifold pressure, boosting or not?

[callum1]

no i dont know. thats why im asking your opinions.

"do you have a boost gauge?? check your manifold pressure, boosting or not?"

yea boosting fine, like normal

yeh mate as stated above^^^
i had the same problem, lost acceleration up hills, etc. plus it surges and carries on..

I Changed the Fuel Filter and it fixed her all up!

Clean, free flowing fuel FTW!
