Opel Meriva 1.7 CTDI diesel - goes out while driving, wave turns

perspective 13131 12
Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Why does my Opel Meriva 1.7 CDTI diesel stall while driving, especially on bumps or when shifting, and what should I check first?

Check the fuel-pressure system first, because one reply says these symptoms point to unstable fuel pressure. [#16609338] You should also scan the engine with a tester and read the stored faults, because the warning lamps alone are not enough. [#16608454] Another reply notes that on this model the electronics are mounted low under the car, so moisture at the computer/ECU area is worth inspecting. [#16608437] One owner with the same engine fixed repeated stalling by disconnecting the battery, unplugging both controller connectors, spraying the contacts, and blowing them out several times. [#16906585] That report says the car then started normally again even with a nearly dead battery, so dirty connectors or a weak battery can mimic the fault. [#16906585]

    I warmly welcome !
    I have a nice agile Opel Meriva ctdi (diesel) 203 car released in Spain
    For some time, the car likes to go out while driving - sometimes it will start immediately and sometimes you have to shoot a few / several minutes.
    Most often it lights up simultaneously:
    1) the track stabilization system has a malfunction
    2) fault in the exhaust emission control system
    recently replaced
    1) scv valve
    2) fuel filter

    Sometimes you can drive 1000 -1500 km without problems and it is just like yesterday when on the 300 km route I died about 20 times - most often it happens when the speed is changed, low speed and on a very uneven surface (tram lines, pits and dirt roads )
    for a more complete picture I attach a video as I shoot ...

    you have in mind - crankshaft position sensors?

    Hello. In this model, the engineers placed the power steering gear near the steering gear - that is, under the car - the computer is exposed to incredible moisture.

    The indicator lights up so you need to connect the tester and read the faults in the engine. It can't be done otherwise.

    so can it be a sensor?

    I did it four times - no engine defects - the only thing that seemed before was a fuel system leak

    Well then. You have a problem with fuel pressure. You have to look here.
  • Fuel pressure issue possibly caused by bad fuel or clogged valve

    I warmly welcome ! Yesterday on the road - about 130 km went out about 20 times .... I will mark that I go beyond the eastern border and I often refuel there
    I went to the diagnostics of the buyer and there says that it is a clogged valve .... (a month ago I replaced the dv denso valve! and 2 weeks ago the fuel filter. On the border I got tired a little and in Poland already 150 km without problems ... maybe damn quality fuel? maybe you need to clean the tank?

    You've got the answer - the smell of saler is in itself petroleum - I know a person who has been driving vw b4 tdi to Bezledy for 15 years but he has been refueling his car on the Polish CPN.

    I can't stop going to PL to orlen to refuel :) I have to watch over the company
    will the fuel cleaning fluid help?

    I think that the PLN 25 invested will not worsen your budget significantly - the brave world belongs.

    I will write something for others since the car was sold. Someone may hit my solution. I had the same problem (the same engine) and when I started firing, the battery reached almost zero. Accidentally on a lit engine I leaned on the plug to the controller and the car went out. I disconnected the battery, unplugged both plugs, sprayed the contact and blown the compressor, probably about 3 times. What was my surprise when he lit a dead battery with an arrow. I drive for a long time and the problem disappeared and appeared every day. I breathed a sigh of relief because I was about to take the Denso valve. Regards.
