Hi to all, as I'm new and referred by Doktor A. My symptoms are: Starts fine everytime, then dies while driving. A quick put in to neutral while rolling, crank, starts again. Drives awhile (few minutes) then dies or hits what I think is the limp mode. Dies, restarts, then might, and I mention might, blow a short 1-2 second puff of black smoke, then clears up and drives again. We don't even dare taking it on the freeway as it hits limp mode alot, but on city streets it mostly dies. We are new to the Sprinter owners, but I bought it in Richmond VA with 138K on it, (single commercial owner extensive records) drove it immediately to Ohio, Tenn, Texas, Tucson Az then back to Texas. All with the A/C on and we averaged 29.6 mpg. Fantastic in my book. But now we have this problem. I did check the Turbo Resonator and hoses, nothing, Doktor A says it is not a boost problem. He said find someone in the Austin area on the forum that had the right scanner (DAD ? ) and check out the codes. Maybe also a Tech that can help me get it back right again. Wonder if anyone has any ideas on the issue. My wife uses it for her home business, and now because of the shutdowns, she's scared to drive it. Help
