Solution
Check spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel injectors. A diagnostic scan may
also be able to identify the cylinder that is firing incorrectly.
Problem with Coolant Temperature
Either the engine is operating at an abnormally low temperature or it is
overheating. The solution is to inspect the thermostat, the radiator, and the
water pump, and make sure there isn’t a leak in the coolant. It’s also
possible that the coolant temperature sensor is broken, which would explain
the problem.
EGR Valve Did Not Work

the relays as a solution. When dealing with ongoing issues, it is possible
that a thorough electrical diagnostic will be required.
Noises Caused by Suspension
Sounds of knocking or creaking coming from the suspension are the problem. The
solution is to inspect the struts, bushings, and any other suspension
components for signs of wear and tear.
Concerns Relating to the Diesel Particulate Filter
