Is anybody able to help, my 07 Outlander has had the error codes P2141 & P0487 for some weeks now. I've had it in the garage and the replaced the EGR but its not cleared the errors. Now tonight on my way home from work there was a kind of pop and its gone into idle mode, sounds like major blowing when you accelerate and smokes in 1st and 2nd gear. I have a major drive of some 800 miles from Saturday and I really need to direct the garage who seem baffled.

Many thanks for any advise you can give.

 

The only thing I found:
p0487 and p2141 - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum
Maybe look around the throttle body for a loose/disconnected connector.
