2006 Liberty CRD, new to me, 160K miles, driving for about a month, no problems.
Highway doing 65-70mph felt throttle drop out for a second but come back to speed.
red )lightning bolt( warning light came on, had no idea what it was.
On this site found a bunch of worn wire harness posts. I looked and looked, nothing I could find. I quit took to dealer.
They tested thoroughly (dealers....) and said it was the throttle pedal itself. Replaced and boom, happened again on the way home...…
Took back to dealer, went slightly postal on them. They diagnosed again, now saying someone manhandled the bottom wire harness to ECM connection and bent a pin. Of course this was an additional problem, not part of what they already fixed, nor caused by them.
Now have a zip tie wrapped around ECM and connector, pulled as tight as I can get it. Will update. Right now I am finishing up a thermostat change and noticed crack in the Air Box to turbo hose......
That's a real bummer!
Hope you got your old throttle pedal rheostat back since it must not have been defective. You might could sell it as a used part to recoup some of your costs?
As to the turbo inlet rubber pipe, this is a common failure item especially if you don't have a ProVent filter installed and the CCV is still dumping a lot of oil into the hose.
Lots of reading on LOST if you do a search about installing a ProVent filter and servicing the CCV puck on top of the valve cover.
IDParts.com and Sasquatchs.com both list the turbo inlet pipes both in OEM and a better silicone version.
