im not having much luck after getting the EBL power fixed yesterday in Worthing I made the ferry from newhaven and am now in France near Le Mans more trouble with trailer nearly lost the Ducati twice when the front wheel chock weld cracked and the chock fell off also cut 2 Cargo straps , luckily I have bought new heavy duty ones and the bike is secure , but my confidence in the trailer is Zero ,,

Bigger problem is the van is running rough for last hour I have done 360 miles in last 2 days smooth as silk , until 40 miles ago but now the engine warning light is on permanently the OBD wont clear the fault and its the ( Throttle bank 1 0638 code ) the van is now running very poorly and I just dont know what to do should I cancel my whole holiday and go home to Cirencester or try and sort the van out here ???

Im really unhappy , I had many things planned , and thing are toxic at home with my daughter so this was supposed to be a really good rest and reset for me..

any advice on sorting the van miuch appreciated
 
When you do fit a new throttle body, check at that time if or not your EGR valve operates.

I found mine was (and is) stuck open. It is not an easy check with the TB in place. And the vehicle has no idea what any of it is physically doing. As said before it is a dumb system that assumes.

Ive now got mine blanked, and mapped out of the ecu. No more problems and a more basic/reliable system.
