Hello folks. My wife's Crd just quit while driving
and I had it towed home. There was no signs or noises when it died. She wasn't going very fast in fact was just leaving a stop light and was slowing down again to get on the on ramp but didn't make to the ramp.
At first I assumed the fuel problems. So I started reading everything I could here. And I am thinking I am down to the TB. The biggest reason I figure is when I was checking the "flow control value" I sprayed some starting fluid in the intake and there was no signs of life.
Before you scold me on the either, I waited long enough for the glow plugs to stop their cycle and then I wait long enough for them to cool down again.
So what I am asking is how can I physically look and see that the TB needs replace without tear into it. I looked into the Oil fill and look to see if I could/couldn't see anything turning or moving. I really didn't see anything but a really smooth surface that I could not tell if it was rotating or not.
She has just short of 150,000 on it and we bought it with 135,000 and we don't know if the TB was done but there seems to be a lot of good maintenance and what I call upgrades to the Liberty so I am assuming it was done. But now I have my doubts.
I found the parts I need from ID parts and two of the tools but I haven't found the alignment pins yet. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where to get them?
Thank you for you help.
