My 2013 Swift 1.3 DDIS being moody

[Swiftly99]

Hi, having another quirky moment with my 2013 Swift 1.3 DDIS. Yesterday, I pulled up to a junction, and it decided to take a little nap instead of revving, just ticked over. After about 30 seconds, it woke up and revved fine. Anyone got a clue what's going on? No warning lights, so it’s just being moody! Thanks in advance

Could be a dirty MAF sensor, a clogged EGR valve, or even some carbon buildup in the throttle body messing with the idle. Fuel system issues or worn spark plugs might also be the culprits. I would try to clean the MAF first. If it doesn't work, then have a mechanic check it.

yea it could be a temporary sensor or fuel delivery issue, a diagnostic scan might help rule out any underlying problems, even without warning lights.

Scan it first to know the issue.

No warning lights makes it tricky. Check your air and fuel filters first. It could also be a bad MAF or crank sensor. If you have a scanner even a cheap one plug it in it might show hidden codes. Diesels can have issues from fuel pressure to EGR valves so you'll have to check things one by one.

Definitely sounds like a sensor issue. If it's the MAF or EGR, cleaning them might do the trick, but it could also be a hint of something more serious, like fuel delivery problems. A quick scan should nail it down faster than just playing the guessing game. Keep us posted on what you find!

That could be electrical, like a sensor or connection. Given it's a diesel, fuel delivery might be worth checking too. Definitely get it looked at to avoid it worsening.
