We will need to know more, is it Petrol, or Diesel? If diesel, does it have an intercooler? What Year? Don't need the colour...

Welcome to the forum

.Personally i always start with the basic's with anything so i would start with the fuel filter.Dont bother with cheap ones as ive heard bad review's with them.Also it's well worth paying for the membership as from personal experience the information you will get be second to none.

Welcome bud

+1 for trying the fuel filter first... and paying the £10 membership

Klurgen · 22-11-2013, 15:24

It has had all filters changed ? And was going to try the site first before joining as a full member

R1cho · 22-11-2013, 16:04

hello fellow welcome to the club, as said check filters first, then i'd check fuel lines in the drivers side rear wheel arch they tend to rot there and let air in

Lazy-Ferret · 22-11-2013, 18:03

Surely, if it is bad on tick over, but fine under load, then I would have thought it was less likely to be fuel related.

I wonder if it would be more sensor related, like the crank position sensor, or I what about the second switch on the brake pedal, that tells the ECU when you are braking, and cuts the fuel off.

I would go for reading the ECU codes first, and work from there....

Having said that, I think you do need to be a member to get to the datasheet on how to do that.

Could be MAF ? Auto's are Rick's specialty

All sorts of fancy rev adjustment reqd by ECU for this that n the other . £10 get's you more answers

Hi and welcome to the club.

Has this problem recently started?
Was it OK BEFORE you changed the filters?
How long have you had the truck, and how long has it been fine?
Have you recently changed the type of fuel, bio or SVO?
What was the last change that you did before it started to run rough?

A bit like a restore point on a computer, when new software can crash the computer... so what has changed?
best regards,

Rustic

I have had it about 4 weeks as soon as I had it noticed not running as kept cutting out so done a full service straight away and still the problem is the same

stinka · 23-11-2013, 17:11

Remove mini filter and bin it

Replace main fuel filter

Check fuel lines for corrosion/leaks

Get fault codes read

clivvy · 23-11-2013, 18:19

is it OK when cold, then starts to cut out when engine reaches operating temperature?

zippy656 · 23-11-2013, 18:38

Get some clear pipe for fuel pipe, see if any air getting in.

8mm internal.
