Hi All
I'm sure this problem's been addressed in the past, but my webtv won't
access the archives, I'm not even sure that this will post to the list.
I've had a 84 M1009 for the last 5-6 months, she's been running fine
until about 2 weeks ago she developed this annoying habit of stalling
within 10 to 20 seconds of starting, giving me just enough time to back
out of the driveway then die in the street. I then shut her off then
turn her on until the glow plugs go out again then I restart with about
half throttle on the accelerator, she'll turn over and eventually
sputter but after 15 seconds if she doesn't catch, I'll shut her off
wait a few seconds and go through all this again, USUALLY she'll catch
on the third try, but she'll over rev, then if I take my foot off the
accelerator she'll die. I live in Phoenix, and the mornings have been 15
-20 degrees cooler during the last couple of weeks but the temperature
is still in the 75 - 85 degree range at 0430 hrs, so if this is
temperature related I'll really be in trouble when winter hits (I'm
assuming that this is somehow temperature related)
I'm guessing that maybe there is a pin-hole leak that lets air in the
fuel system overnight. but don't have a clue where to look. I'm guilty,
I don't have a military manual, only a civilian Chilton, which leaves
alot to the imagination.
If you've already "been there and done that" with this particular
problem, please let me know what your solution was, feel free to e-mail
me directly.
Thanks - Tom Kelly
