94 2.8 Engine cuts out - steady.eddie
I have an imported Pajero 2.8 LWB that runs fine when warm but when starting from cold the engine cuts out after a few hundred yards, if I keep the key turned or leave it for 5-10 mins it will eventually start, it will sometimes do this again before I can drive away and then it will give no problems all day.
Does anyone know the fault and cure.
As I said it is a 1994 Pajero/Shogun 2.8 Auto.

Its the small seal on the pulley end of the diesel pump,costs pennys but the job can take a few hours,involves removing the pump.The seal lets air in to the fuel and gives the symptoms of having run out of fuel.

Hi, many thanks, what is the cheapest way to cure and can it be changed without removing the pump?
Thanks again.
