I have a Pajero Sport GLS 2001 2.5TD model (Import), It has 69k miles and had timing belt changed at 57k. The issue I have is starting, intermittent power loss and stalling. On start up (car has new glow plugs) it takes ages to fire, then when it does, it takes about 30sec's to run smooth. Once running there is an intermittent loss of power in all gears, ranging from 900rpm up to approx. 3000rpm. This seems more noticeable when engine is up to running temperature. It has also just started stalling while running (this is manifested as loss of power then through to completer stall). I have changed the fuel filter and used injector cleaner, but has had little effect. Can anyone please advise on next steps to check...... Thanks.

Hi!!This occurs when the ignition timing and fuel mixture are changed causing an excessive amount of heat. If the engine is running on a VERY lean or rich mixture, the temp will be so high to make the exhaust manifold glow red,. which would damage the catalytic converter making things worst.
You did not provide the vehicle's year and model, but, you should have DTCs stored in the PCM memory. Scan the computer for Trouble Codes and you'll find out if the mixture is in the lean or rich side and you can make the necessary adjustments. AutoZone, Checkers and similar auto parts stores let you borrow DTC Scanners.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.
