We drove to Albuquerque from OKC today - just got here. After the
final ten miles at only 65mph, I pulled off I-40 at my exit, came to a
stop light, where the engine promptly died. It took a bit of cranking
to start, and I had to hold throttle to keep it running. Same thing at
the next light. It worked fine at the third and forth stops.
Any idea of what might have caused this? It's the first time I've
experienced anything like it in a Diesel.
Almost surely fuel related. Change the fuel filters and carry spares
until you are sure it's OVER. Just changing them usually cleans thing
up, but I'd consider a dose of something like Power Service Diesel
Supplement to insure there's NO water for bugs to grow in (no water - NO
bugs). MIGHT be the tank strainer.
