Hi, Just bought the above Vito with 135K on the clock with a cold running issue.
Basically, it starts up fine but then within a few seconds the idle is hunting up and down and it can easily stall at a junction during the first 5 minutes. After that van drives perfectly. It drives fine when warming up its just the idle that hunts about and it can stall.
I have come to the conclusion that it could be the Fuel quantity control valve on the high pressure fuel pump, trouble is on my van its buried underneath. It took me 5 minutes just to find the pump and I cant even see the valve without stripping lots of pipes off.
I did discover a two pin (one wire pale blue) connector swinging in the breeze, it exits the main loom just behind and below the oil filter on the near side of the engine and is about 6" long, couldn't see any logical home for it, maybe its a spare ?
My simple code reader couldn't find any fault codes.
Any ideas ?
