Engine cut-out

Hi guys

Bought a 4.5GRX early Jan. Whilst driving the other day the engine just died on me. Engine tries to run but just dies again as if not enough fuel.
Records show that a new fuel pump as well as relay fitted just before I bought it. Help,

Hallo Andre

Normally I would suggest to have it checked out by Graham.... but I see you are in Paarl.... which might be a bit to far.

My question would be... is it the right fuel pump which was fitted to your vehicle ? :think:

check the previous write up:

good luck :thumbup:

With weak battery and alternator problems engine can also cut out. Happened to me, no indication of failure on instrument panel.

Alternatively.... In Belville you can speak to Frans ( Tour de Frans ). He will definitively be able to sort your Patrol out !!

Bossie, congrats on your buy. Maybe you should have bought a ZD30. They go and go untill they say BOOM. The dont have all these small niggles like the petrol Patrols have. Irritating little faults.


Just kidding man.... I see you are new. We have to throw in some humour no and then on the forum ne. So dont take it to serious.... QQQ :lol:

Take your Troll to Frans Fourie. He will sort it out.

Thanks you all.
Where do i get hold of Frans. Previous owner adamant that correct pump was fitted. Hy glo daar is n elektriese probleem. Dit lyk nie goed nie, ek moet die patrol rond sleep met my Ranger 3.0 diesel.

Will keep Frans in mind. Problem solved. Positive wire running through fuel pump housing making intermittent contact. :blonde:
