Dacflyer Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 did you ever find a solution to this ? I am not too familiar with the engine on this vehicle, but it may be ignition related. i had a vehicle that would crank and run great, but once it got warm it sputtered and died. there's only a few sensors are are critical to engine running. other sensors will allow the car to run in limp mode, but the crank sensor and cam sensors are critical. i thought the car had a bad crank sensor, but that wasn't it. it turned out to be a bad distributor cap. newer engines are lacking distributors, but you might have a ignition coil going bad, or ignition related issue. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 This TC has a diesel engine so the Ignition issues would not apply. It sounds like an interesting issue I wish we had the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dacflyer Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 oh, ok, perhaps it is fuel related.. I had a Geo Metro that had a fuel pump go bad. I got a replacement pump and a filter. ( little did I know i should have gotten a new sock as well to go on the pump) I replaced this and all was fine til I was over 2 hrs away from home and the car started to loose power. Fuel presser was down to nothing. I though the new pump went bad already. Later i learned....ALWAYS New Pump, New sock filter. I was mad that the parts guy didn't sell me one.. Had to drop the tank all over again. not sure if you have a bad filter issue or dirty fuel pump filter ( sock ) maybe something gives you a clue. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 There are some things that you should have to purchase and a new sock for the fuel pump is one of them. Another one is the gasket that goes with the Thermostat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
