pux Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi Guys, well a week ago while offroading i had a fuel problem where the truck would nearly stall or kangaroo about, so i backed flushed the system to make sure it was not carp in the lines or something similar, changed the filters and cleaned the sediment bowl out, also took the lift pump of to make sure that was doing its job properly which it seems to be. But today i put my foot down to go up a hill to where i live and it suddenly lost all power then it kicked back in and drove normally so i decided to go on for a bit and put my foot down again and it happend again so any ideas as what it could be??? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 ello pux just a thought , is there any chance this could be a intermittent fault in the electical supply to the cut off solinoid on the fuel pump or from the relay due to a poor connection , i maybe wrong but if it was air or poor fuel supply it would be more of a steady loss then an increase of power , were as with the fuel cut off it would be instant (kangaroo action) just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pux Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 emmm good point also it only seems to be when the engine is working hard i.e heavy accelaration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 i'm just thinking along the lines of your problem seemed to start when you were off roading and with your motor getting tossed around , good starting point for a poor connection to kick in only an idea mate good luck anyway i'll be watching for results roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco_al Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 sounds electrical. is there a diapraghm in the pump, possible it could have split, hence it only happens when you boot it, diapraghm opens, split opens, power loss.....just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex park Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 maybe all that bumping has knocked the ignition isolator and is causing it to temporarily make contact when driving and accellerating Pux. mine did the same thing, started doing that then one morning just didnt want to go. changed all sorts before i pushed the manual ignition isolator reset and it worked a treat.. its behind the washer on the bulkhead on my v8 disco.
