moody when it rains
My 2.1td Puglet, gets a little moody when it rains or it on it's way. Sometimes idles lumpy and smokes a bit. Seems to prefer nice dry weather. Any ideas?
406 estate, 2.1TD, I fixed her, then part exchanged her for a Mercedes E300TD Avantgarde Estate.

Re: moody when it rains
Thought you were going to say you, not the car. I know I get moody when it rains in July!!
Hmmm, that's a good 'un! Could atmospheric conditions cause this maybe, moisture in the atmosphere? Otherwise it may be damp getting into the electrics somehwere?

Re: moody when it rains
I think it's moisture in the atmosphere

Quick, phone up the MET Office and tell them you've got something to replace their seaweed!poddack wrote:...or it on it's way.

The only bits of the engine management that seem to be affected by atmospherics are the inlet air temperature and pressure sensors. I suppose rain on the way is usually accompanied by a drop in pressure. Other than that, there could be a damp connection somewhere and more moisture in the air makes it worse. Have a squint at the engine management ecu connector.
