Motor run on 2011 X5 35d
So, motor was running rough, a lot of smoke. I let it set for 20-30 min, started up and it was still smoky/rough idle; I gave it some acceleration pedal and the motor redlined, foot not touching pedal, I had to pull key from ignition to get it to stop.
Towing it now. How could the motor go full load without foot on accelerator? Any guesses? |

Ok, I had a runaway condition
I guess the throttle closed and saved / shutdown. From what I have read/ the Runaway can be due to 2 problems (letting oil into the intake) 1. CCV/vortex breather and/or 2. Turbo seals leaking oil back into intake Soliciting advice to Identify exact cause & repair. Thank You Last edited by stevem0; 11-01-2020 at 10:24 PM.. Reason: Clarification |
