March 2003 Amazon 4.2 TD.
Today the amber engine warning light has come on when I have been driving. The light illuminated shortly after I noted a significant decrease in power when accelerating from standstill or when accelerating out of a roundabout. The power loss would be recognised then about 2 seconds later the light would appear and stay illuminated until I stopped the engine and restarted it - then it would be reset and may not appear for a few weeks. The power loss noted in advance of the warning light illuminating is only periodic - the engine power is always restored soon after the light comes on. I shorted the wires and gor a fault code 34 which is detailed below.
Where do I start and has anyone else suffered this?
Today I did 350miles with no problems so its a funny one.
Someone mentioned it might be the turbo with adjustable pressure controlled by a vacuum actuator (from Aug 2002). Is the vacuum solenoid OK?
