Hi, new to the forum, and just picked up my first turbo diesel about a week ago. 2003 DX Navara dual cab.
Runs really well, but a couple of times it has stalled while in 5th gear going down hill..... Seems to be when I back off the throttle completely coasting down hill, it cuts out and I don't realize until I go to power on again. Tacho still reads revs as I go down through gears to an eventual stop. so is unwilling to roll start the whole time. pretty sure no dash lights come on until clutch is in and tacho is at zero revs.
Engine will not start again unless I turn ignition completely off and then I can start it again like nothing happened.
I have searched on here a fair bit and found a couple of others describing exactly the same thing. but I have not found a fix...
is it true than the computer turns off the fuel pump while slowing down under compression? maybe this is it and the coputer is not repowering the pump when needed.
With this in mind, I have set up a switch with direct battery power to the pump for next time it happens. if it cuts again, I will hit the swith to see if it will roll start instantly.
Anyone found a cause for this problem?
Thanks,
Ash
