Hi all,
Oldjoe from WA here for the first time.
Have read a lot of posts regarding the above issues and I have suffered this problem with my 2013/14 D40. First time was traced to the vacuum solenoid valve that operates the EGR valve. Simple remedy - carefully dismantled it (not designed to be dismantled), cleaned it out and re-assembled. Problem fixed. That was probably 25000k ago.
Now, have had one episode where I noticed the stop lights were activated (my ute has a canopy with high mounted LED stop light and pilot light that can be viewed in the rear vie3w mirror); and, no acceleration! Pulled over, left the engine running and went to the back of the vehicle to verify the stop lights were actually ON and yes they were. The issue ceased when I stopped the engine and re-started. The problem has not returned. I have never heard of this issue despite searching lots of blogs/forums. Vehicle has approx 125000ks now.
Any ideas out there?
