Ideas....sure
Open bonnet, get a pal to start car. Squeeze the top intake rubber pipe this
should swell when revving engine.
if NO pressure felt then look at EGR valve neraby. It could be sticking open
OR blowing around the vacuum
section..Easy remedy BLANK of EGR :-)
Other suggestion...some previous owner may have increased fuel flow on
diesel pump (overfuelling) in
a half-baked idea to increase power
