Loss of power

Sorry but its actually not a problem with my Defender, but the wife's Rav4. Just wondered if anyone could shed any light on this issue.

These are the symptoms .. driiving around fine, got onto the motorway and after about 10mins of doing about 70mph I had to decelerate so took my foot off the gas, then when I went to put my foot down again there would be no power and the car would very slowly loose some speed. Pulled into the services and down through the gearbox and then the car drives fine, back onto the motorway and no further issues. This has happened twice now?

My thoughts are, blocked fuel filter, dirty egr valve, faulty throttle sensor ??

Anyone?

Try Shell fuel or Esso or the like permanently and no supermarket fuel. IF you still get it happen at some point you can then rule that out as being an issue at the very least.

Air flow meters can be a problem on the D4D engines, check for fault codes with an obd reader, those codes on jap systems rarely bring on the management light. I plugged in the reader on my wifes rav and there was over a page of faults not ever bringing the light on erased them all and the car now flies. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

sounds identical to the problem I had with a Mitsubishi Outlander. It turned out to be a gunged up MAP sensor. This happened twice within a year and after 2 replacements I cured the problem by using 2 stroke oil in the diesel which must have kept everything clean
