alone increased speed???

Post by ivailo v40 »

Colleagues in the engine warm when escape from the speed, the car itself rose up to 1200 revolutions. Counting on your help to figure out what is due and what it will take to fix the problem.
The car is diesel, the 40 TD, 2000, the Renault engine.
Will be glad of your views and competent assistance. Thank you!
Sorry for bad English but use online translator.

There is a condition called runaway.

When the turbo leaks oil the engine uses it as a substitute for the diesel and runs. The car can run out of control.
Any oil leak that can get into the intake will casue this.

Check also for any malfunction in an idle control device .

Thanks for useful information. However, I would like to ask, where is Idle Control Device, how to avoid the expiration of oil and is it possible to eliminate this problem.
My engineer said that the computer should detect the error, to be sure where it is damaged.
Maybe it's time to look for a licensed service? Frankly, for two years I visited him twice and I am not pleased, and it is quite expensive.
Once again thanks for your time. I hope to get useful information and more.
