Check engine light
Ok so coming home the trusty td started to make a slight mechanical rattling then the check engine light came on, checked everything and it was fine about 2k down the road it did the same thing, I’m at a loss as there is no smoke or anything, I did clean the air cleaner as it was fairly filthy but no change, it seems to happen when I get the intermittent rattly sound it’s fine until that happens. I have it booked in on Tuesday to scan it and find out hopefully what it is.

Don’t have a pressure gauge but it runs quiet then after about 1km it makes a slight chattering rattle the light comes on and then the rattle goes and comes again 🤷*♂️🤷*♂️

It will be something to do with the tcv on the injector pump. So could be the tps, the sensor on #1 injector or the timing control valve solenoid in the bottom of the injector pump. The rattle will likely be the engine as when this light is on it is likely the pump has gone to full advance which makes engine rattle more.

Thanks mate, it’s going in tomorrow to get the scanner on to see and hopefully fixed, it’s got a 12mm ufi pump

Ok so further checks we have tightened the contacts on the tcv and then discovered the alternator isn’t charging so that’s possibly upsetting the tcv as well so now it’s a 130amp alternator
