Thank you forum for your patience with me...after being stealer-shipped the past year; suffice it to say @ 100,000 miles I have a new intake manifold, 2 new injectors, new high-pressure pump, new rail pressure valve, new camshaft sensor, new crankshaft sensor, new brakes all around, new fuel filter with the wrong kind of clamps, new fuel lines, new MAF sensor, new air filter, new instrument cluster - (I think)...in any event, the van was finally running like a fine swiss watch up and 'til today when we did the following in this order:
replaced front struts to konis;
replaced EGR valve & gasket with OEM, without disconnecting the battery;
changed oil & filter - all spot on;
replaced OEM alternator with new 150 Bosh after disconnecting battery;
only to start-up to a marked-drop in acceleration...slow getting up to speed....Is the new EGR valve working?....motor sounds more throaty, but less power.....idk, but am learning. love this forum and so appreciate your input and replys!!. thanks so much.
