old 90 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Now then, i have an old 90 with an engine gearbox and transfer box from a 300tdi disco. I was enjoying a greenlaning trip across rudland rig when all of a sudden the power disappeared i kept my foot flat to floor but nothing when she slowed to idle speeds she picked up a few revs but then died back down to idle, picked up a few then died to idle, this continued for a while but when i stopped to take a look the engine died. There was nothing obvious no leaks, the fuel filter was filled with clean diesel no muck and as i am not a proper mechanic just learning as stuff breaks i was pretty much stumped. When i tried to start she wouldnt go and quickly ran the battery flat cranking her over.So apart from a new battery or maybe 2 does anyone know what my problem might be and how to cure it. As i have mentioned i am not a proper mechanic but i am trying to learn by tackling every problem that comes my way. thanks in advance for any replies.

Tetsu0san Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Could either be a fuel blockage or a faulty lift pump. I had the same problem and it was a combination of the 2. Blew out the fuel lines and replaced the lift pump and all OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok i will clean out the lines first then see if it solves it then look at replacing the lift pump if neccesary thanks for the quick reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
