Pajero Sport idle, but does not pick up RPM's

Thu Feb 08, 2018 4:59 pm

Hi all,

I have a 2010 Pajero Sport 3.2 DiD. I recently started to experience a funny issue. Not funny ha ha as this funny wants you to burn stuff.

My Pajero drives fine. No issues with power or anything. Then all of a sudden (when the RPM's go to idle state), there is no power. I can put foot, pump the pedal, but to no avail. The car stays on idle. This can last for up to 10-15 seconds. Then all of a sudden, all is OK and the beast pull off faster than a F1 driver out of the pits. I have NO issue while driving and as long as the RPM's stay above idle.

It will also not do it every time. The car will be fine for a while, then all of a sudden it does it again. Sometimes a few times after each other, then all is back to normal.

Car was services about 7k km's ago and need to go for the 250k service now.

Any idea's on what can cause this?

Thanks

Johan
