Hello - Hoping someone might be able to offer some pointers.
Bought an old 2006 1.4 Doblo Dynamic petrol car. Car initially took a few goes to get started from cold, but was okay starting from warm.
After a few days the engine light came on. It kept cutting out when trying to get started from cold, and tool longer each time. Still okay when warm.
I disconnected the MAP sensor in order to get home from a trip away, and the car ran normally.
Ran the scanner and the codes P0101, P0105, P0106 came up.
Bought a new MAP sensor and thought it was okay, but then the car lost power and I had to keep restarting. I’ve never experienced limp mode before, but it felt like that was happening.
Thought that the sensor I ordered might be wrong, so I’ve ordered another one anyway, which I’ll test when it arrives.
When I start the engine with the sensor disconnected it starts but does smell strongly of petrol.
I had a service inc oil filter change last month after buying the car, and it says on the receipt that the air filter was also changed. I also had the end section of the exhaust replaced.
Can anyone offer any advice? I’m new to diagnosing problems, but good at fixing things once I know. Just need practice at the former! I need to try to fix it myself.
I’m new on here, so apologies in advance if any newbie errors have occurred, but thank you so much to anyone with the patience to help me
