Hi all,
My JBA falcon tourer has developed an issue.
The VN 3800 engine this morning, as I took off when the engine was cold, kept cutting out momentarily for 25kms where I stopped and noticed, even though engine was warm, that it idled high say 1500 rpm and that dreaded sucking noise. I turned the engine off. I was towing my new homebuilt caravan and the previous day it towed perfectly.
Then after weighing my van at a weighbridge I started up the van and presto, the engine idled fine at normal 700rpm or so. The van was towed home up hills without issue although sometimes I could still hear some sucking noise coming from the intake somewhere but couldn't pin point it.
It would appear that turning off the engine has reset the computer or similar. I also find sometimes my economy isn't so good.
Any ideas on rectifying this?
Tony
