My son recently bought a 1998 Ti 4.2 GU patrol after owning it for 2 months it developed an intermittent problem. Runs perfect for days then suddenly will run rough and loose power to a point where it won't drive but just splutter which he finds quite embarassing at the traffic lights not to mention the fact he is very peeved off. He has taken it to a Nissan dealer heaps of times and they can't find out whats wrong with it, thier computer reads everything is fine they have tried replacing the distributor, fuel pump, fuel filter,new plugs,cleaned the injectors and removed an alarm that was fitted before he bought it.
any thoughts on the problem would be greatly appreciated thanks

yeah
check the fuel filter/ lines and tank. speaking of stories, when i was at holden we had the local boys in blue bring a new ss chaser in for work, had a bad miss when going hard under full load. very embarrasing for the hot shots to be passed by the cruisers when in a chase lol. So i'm in the
seat driving with the boys alongside and we go for a run, sure enough top of third into fourth bam breaking down , back off, power again , same thing. couldnt top 140. They usually do 220 or so (so i've heard hehe). Anyway all diagnostics came back normal, so i drop the tank and remove the fuel sender/ pump assembly - all normal. Then by accident i shine the torch over the tank opening and something catches my eye. One Dirty big rag.. under constant hard accell the fuel pump has no return to the swirl pot and pulls full amounts from the tank, sucking the rag into the pickup and blocking the flow.. No explanation how it got there- it just was...
