ghworker2010 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Yesterday I picked up my car from the smash repairs. I was rear ended by a teen on a bike. I was driving back home and after driving for 5 to 10min I had to slow down bc of a traffic light. As I was slowing down my car felt like it was going to stall. The revs completely failed and luckily the light went green and I hit the accelerator and it didn’t stall. I parked around the corner and did some shopping and then drove it home and the problem didn’t repeat itself. Do you have any idea what the problem might be caused by? Last week when I went to check up on my pickup they had completely separated the back tray from the main body of the cabin so that they could fit it all in the spray room. I presume that they might have thus altered some of the engine to do their job? Its only 3 yrs old and never had a problem until now. Cheers for your opinion.

taichiplanet Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Could be a lot of things but first thing i'd check is that the battery clamps are tight. Might also want to check the earth strap is secure as well. Would there be some sort of eathing for the tray?

Question 1 - How long was it in the workshop getting repaired ? Question 2 - Was it being repaired at a franchised dealership ? Question 3 - If the answer to 2 is no who recommended to you the repairer ? Many a scam in this country during accident repairs. Not saying this happened to you but did you check the engine number is the same now ? Do you know where the ECU is ? - if so does it look disturbed in it's housing ?

TopOfTheMorning Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Presuming that the workshop disconnected the battery when they were working on your vehicle, I would say that the problem is with the throttle body. Once the battery has been disconnected , the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance. To reset the throttle body is usually an easy task and the details for carrying out the oppersation your vehicle can be easily found on Google.

patekatek Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Since they removed the entire bed, it might be that they pinched, or otherwise damaged the fuel line. It's also possible that all the movement caused some contamination in the tank to get stirred up and mess with the injectors or carb. Just a thought.

If it's a diesel, it probably is a clogged diesel filter....happened to me several times. could also be lots of dirt in the fuel tank. a diesel filter cost a couple hundred baths....300-400 bth....
