What is wrong with Diesel transit non turbo van which has lost power but if revved really hard it seems to clear?

Possible issues:

- Fuel Filter: A clogged or dirty fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the engine, causing a loss of power.

- Air Filter: A dirty or clogged air filter can limit the amount of air entering the engine, leading to a loss of power.

- Turbocharger: If the van is not turbocharged, there may be an issue with the turbocharger, which is responsible for boosting engine power at low RPM.

- Exhaust System: A blockage or restriction in the exhaust system can cause a loss of power.

- Fuel Injectors: Faulty or clogged fuel injectors can cause uneven fuel distribution and poor combustion, leading to a loss of power.

Troubleshooting:

1. Check the fuel filter: If it's clogged, replace it.

2. Check the air filter: If it's dirty or clogged, replace it.

3. Inspect the turbocharger: Check for damage, leaks, or any other issues.

4. Check the exhaust system: Look for any blockages or restrictions.

5. Test the fuel injectors: Have a mechanic test the injectors to identify any issues.

If you can not resolve the issues yourself, it's best to take the van to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
