New guy just joined here last night. Just got this thing yesterday, ran fine. On my way home from work today, pulled from a stop sign, got on it a little, but nothing serious, and all of a sudden it just fell on its face and barely ran. I nursed it to a house, bumbed a ride home and went and picked it up with my truck and brought it home. Could barely get it running to load it or unload it. It sounds like crap, kinda knocking a little, real rough, no power at all.
My 1st thought is intercooler hoses? As I'm pulling those, the inside of them is all oily. Inside of turbo is oily, but it spins freely. I dont see any obvious holes in the 2 hoses though.
Is there anything I should look for in particular that would cause this? I cant check/ dont have tools to check codes. Check engine light was already on from this stupid Edge EZ chip thats on the jeep. That's gonna come off soon.
If this was my Cummins I'd have no problems, but this CRD is all new to me. Thanks for any/all help! I need to get this thing back on the road asap.

I reposted here for more CRD guys to see. Here's the original post...
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=74586OK, this sounds EXACTLY, I mean EXACTLY what happened with my CRD. It happened while driving about 50mph, all of the sudden black smoke...alot of it and no power. I pulled off the hwy and into a lot, looked for a blown boost hose or something, i couldn't find anything wrong and the check engine light was obviously on because the vehicle was off with the key on and I didn't have a code reader with me to check to see if it had any codes. So I attempted to start it back up and it ran perfectly. I got it home and less than a week later it did the exact same thing again.
Long story short I removed the MAP sensor (boost sensor) which was completely packed in with soot/oil gumminess. I cleaned it and haven't had an issue since!
Remove and clean your MAP sensor and hopefully that all it is. I'd be willing to put $ on it since it sounds exactly like my issue.
Good luck!
