jimny cutting out

(1/4) > >>

jamesey:
went greenlaning on sunday and when i went over rough terrain if kept cutting out it was like it was running out of petrol and i couldnt rev it , eventually it stalled , and wouldnt restart for 2 to 3 minutes ,  is this a common fault
could it be a dikey fuel pump , where is it  
i darnt go off roading again until its sorted :cry:

glaggs:
Not a common fault I've heard of - just check all the obvious. There was a 'fault ' on early Jimnys where the engin would just cut out then resatrt for no apparent reason but this occures at medium to high constant cruising speed and has something to do with the ecu and crank shaft position sensor? Mine does it occasionaly on motorways, but all that happens is the engin hesitates for a split second then carries on.

I'd check water hasn't got to you electrics/airbox etc, or that the fuel lines are ok.

lambert:
I know it's a totally different truck but my mav did a very similar thing once on rutland rigg, turned out it was the ignition switch had a dry connector. Might be worth a look.

jamesey:
where is the crank sensor , mine cuts out for a split second when i drive it sometimes , it might have somthing to do with that
where is it it might be worth a try , i dont want to be taking my tank out to check the pump when it might be the sensor any pictures would help  mine is a 2000 w reg

glaggs:
2000 w reg should be OK anyway, but from what I understand it is only a problem at constant speed for long periods, not when traveling at slow, variable throttle openings as when off roading, and also the problem is always only for a split second. What you describe isn't linked to the crank position sensor problem. Have you had it in deep water recently? I drowned mine at the weekend and the engin cut out, and the the starter motor wouldn't work. Managed to dry it out and next day was OK. I'd try drying plugs plug leads, coils, wireing first then treat them to a decent damp start (not WD40) spray. I would guess the prob is more likely electrical, but could be worth disconeccting the fuel line from the pump at the engin end and crank engi over to see what sort of fuel delivery your getting?
