Hi there,
I've had this issue for a while now so hope that someone can shed some light on what I might do to fix the issue...here goes.
I own a 2010 Lancer Juro 2.0D - it's done 76k, has been serviced at all intervals. I purchased it about 2 years ago and it has ran beautifully for the initial year and a bit but, towards the end of last summer, I noticed that it ran fine but then started to stutter and emitted loads of smoke - and I mean clouds - from the exhaust. I had a check of all of the air intake pipes and decided after doing a few checks and research that I should also replace the MAF sensor which I did. It ran well for a while but, whilst on holiday in April, the symptoms started again so I took the connector off the MAF sensor and it has been running OK(apart from the expected engine light from not having the MAF sensor connected) - a bit sluggish than normal but certainly better than when it stutters and smokes like a Victorian Steam Train!
Over the summer I've re-checked the intake pipes and actually the whole air system for split pipes and even swapped out the MAF sensor for the old one I kept but to no avail.
I guess I could be really unlucky and have two faulty MAF sensors but my instinct tells me it is more than this and I just wanted to check if anyone out there has had similar issues like this and what they have done to fix it?
Thanks for your help.
