Mend Vivaro 19 Not Keeps

Vivaro 1.9 not running properly and keeps stalling?

Hi I have a 2006 vivaro 1.9 deisel
After recentley hitting a flood very hard ive been experiencing problems with the van running normal.
it will start fine but after a while it will stall for no reason
there was a pipe coming from low in the engine which was pushed off of its fixing. it had a white top on it and looked like some sort of breather.
i put this back where it was but am still experiencing the same problem.
also the hand primer by the fuel filter keeps sucking in hard like i can of coke when you squash it. If i loosen the nuts either side of the filter and pump air back into it it will run again.
anyone have any ideas?

Hi Mark I`m not sure about this and if I remember right there is a breather pipe for the g/box which I`m sure had a white end on it,I`m sorry but I could have looked at that van today to see what you were on about,good luck with your repair

Thanks
any idea what the pipe is that i was refering too.
it has a white end on it which looks like some sort of breather tube.
its down on the right hand side of the engine under the water filler bottle.
Please advise
Mark

I am doing a vivaro at the moment where the hand primer is sucked flat and cutting out,had it on the ramp today and the pipe has a very bad kink at the tank unit,how it has come to be like that I do not know,i think it has damaged the hand primer as there is no resistance there when you try and prime the filter and have a new pipe/primer on order so will have to see how it pans out,I would also check your air filter,if it is damp then your engine may have swallowed some water and engines don`t like that and can cause severe internal damage often resulting in a new engine required.I think I would first try and see what issues are with your fuel system.
