Title: Just stops
Post by: Dave on April 19, 2006, 20:58:32

The 90 2.5 n/a diesel drives along nice and then just cuts out turn the key and she starts straight up for 10 sec and stops again does this about 5/6 times then start to run ok again. Does it in the dry as well as the wet any ideas folks.

I will have a look later in the manual for the fuel stop thingy. It has just over 1/2 tank but after it has stopped it runs fine again for a bit.

'Floater' in the fuel line/system?

An instant cut-out would point to the fuel cut-off as Dave suggests... not uncommon for the connection to be poor on the pump.

A fuel problem such as a filter / blockage / low fuel would more likely make the engine 'hunt' for a bit before it cut out.

As said earlier checked the cable was a bit loose so cleaned and crimped. Also emptyed sediment bowl and put new fuel filter in just been for a ride and all seems well high revs for a good while and did a lane so it got a good rocking and a rolling.
 Never missed a beat. Thanks all think you cracked it :D
