Driving home from work one day at a stop light when she puttered out and died on me. After a tow home, did some basic looking and found nothing. Started right up and drove around the neighborhood. Couple days later, start off to work. Realize I forgot something at home and turned around. Lucky for me (i guess), at that point I started losing power. Kept moving until I got home and again died on me.
I found I have air building up in the fuel filter. When I purge it, I can get about 30-60 seconds of idle time before dying again. I've replaced the rubber supply hoses before the lift pump, the lift pump itself (one of which had a hole worn in it - TM shows it should have a guard on it, probably to prevent that), had the injection pump rebuilt, replaced fuel filter and water separator (both clean and in good shape from what I could see). Filled up the tank all the way to see if the problem went away, no luck. Blew out the return line just in case it was clogged, air came out into tank fine. Pulled filler cap to see if maybe the tank was going under vacuum - still no luck.
Anyone else have any ideas?
