Hi all,

I have a 2001 deisel Multipla that won't go above 80-85mph. Reasonable
amount of power up to 3000 revs, but after that nothing. You can push it in
2nd gear to 4000 - but theres no point, it's quicker to change gear.

I took it to my local garage who got an error code of P1761, which they
believe "could" be the mass airflow sensor, or a problem with a sensor on
the common rail. The first part costs around ?85, the second ?450/500. I
have one of those "not really worth the paper they are written on"
guarantees that the garage I recently bought the car from supplied.

Any ideas as to exactly what this code means?

Thanks in advance

to be fair the airflow sensors are a bit flakey
are you proficient enuf with a voltmeter to test it?
if so could you probe it and tell me the results at idle mid and full
throttle?

Hi,

had similar problem myself, unplug the wire into the mass flow sensor and
try driving without it, if it improves, its the sensor (probably! it was on
my car). Check out the tech FAQ's at http://www.multiplaowners.co.uk/ for
details.

Good luck, Andrew.
