My car has 154,000 KM. It is working very well less one problem that I am facing from last month. During the driving whenever I stop some place (to buy something in a shop to attend a phone call) I do not turn the engine off, and after five minutes or three minute stop when I touch my accelerator pedal my car blow. I only touch but it, seems like I push the whole pedal down. It is like there to is too much diesel inside the motor, it only happens when my car AC turn on. If AC turn off it does not happened. Without AC it, s more the ten or fifteen minutes. Is something wrong with diesel valve? Please guide.

Hello,

There is a diesel fuel control valve that shuts the fuel off that sounds like is not working correctly. We do not have this car in the states so we have no information on it, but I am interested to see what is wrong with it because I have seen other people in Europe that have the same problem with that car.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
