Hi Brian

It sounds like your fuel injection pump might be bad. I've been having
similar problems with mine but they have been sporadic. I was told that
mine may just need recalibration.

I found a guy in Livermore, Ca. called "Richards Diesel". He says he use to
rebuilt fuel injection pumps for HMMWV all the time at Camp Parks in Dublin
Ca. (40 mi. east of San Francisco). He also says his rebuilt pumps come
with a warranty.

I plan on having him do work on mine later this month when his schedule
opens up.
