Have the fault codes read . It is serious as the cpu is shutting down the engine to protect it. Look for a crank/cam position sensor fault .

When was the last time you replaced the O2 sensor. Most people negelect replacing it every 50K or sooner if it is all short hops.

SOURCE: rpm running high when park

well. your idle is just high. you can get a screw driver and find the idle screw on the throttle body. . and jsut adjust there , , that is if there are no problems.

now it also maybe a leaky intake. . . . but i think its jsut more of a small adjsutment. . 8)

Probably daytime running light module needs replace. They should be able to test that at repair shop to confirm before replacing.

Citroen relay van 2.0L HDI

Have a load test done on the battery as the glo-plugs should get very hot very quickly. Diesel engines have to have a high rpm crank speed or they will not start and will leave unburnt fuel in the cylinders ( wet glo- plugs). Every indication is that the battery is flat or is not the right capacity for the car.

Why does my kenworth run for 20 seconds and shut off

you have got to be talking about a diesel engine and its a override protection on diesel engines if you are trying to stay cool or warm in the winter or summers months just bump up th rpm with the cruise control switch and it will be fine if there is low oil or coolant problem top off and you should be fine if not you will need to take to a service center to be repaired

Idle is high at start - 1800 rpm. Seems like excessive white smoke from exhaust. Put into reverse and back out of driveway it has a regular shudder (bump bump bump) but not hard metal grinding sound.....

white smoke out of the exhaust would be a sign that it is burning coolant... if it goes away after it warms up, it could just be condensation inside the exhaust pipe. 1800 rpm is a very high idle, maybe have your IAC motor on the throttle body checked... check engine light? if so have the code read at your local auto zone.

Low idle and stall when warm 1991 nissan 2.4 l d21 4 cy 2 wd

I feel the codes may be the answer here, idle should be around 8-900 rpm. There are a lot of possibilities for this kind of issue and the codes would be a great place to start.
