went for a drive this morning, as usual, car started a bit slow,
(took about 20ish turns to start) the idle was really low (about 600RPM).
but it drove fine, through all the gears (auto) and up to speed.
then i decided to put the boot in and it just died in the arse.
wouldn't rev above 1250RPM and a real low idle, but still ran. :-k
til finally it stalled, and refused to fire again.
checked the fuel lines and they were full of air. so i bled the fuel line,
pumped the pressure up using the primer and it ran perfect.
for about 30secs. ](*,)
checked the lines again, bled the air, pumped the primer, and the same thing. :-# UUCK!!!
got a tow truck to take it
home, went inside to curse and swear some more and way up my options.
about an hour later i went back to the car primed the lines,
and started it again to move it up to the shed and it drove perfect.
took it for a blast around the yard and still no problem,
it revved right to the red line and idled fine.
What the hell has happened??
do i need a new pump or a rebuild??
and if so whats the costs??
It's a 93 hilux Surf, TD.
