1.7 FI Turnover and Die Options

[claudeb]

Hi All, A newbie here, happy to get hands dirty but a bit overwhelmed by the general troubleshooting tips I've found for the D-Jet. Hoping for something specific before I have to start tearing the whole thing apart.

Turn the key and it catches right away but dies within seconds; various mindless impulsive pedal pumping strategies seem to make only the slightest difference.

Am tempted to present some history, but it's short (< 2yrs) and very complicated.

Thanks

I had a similar problem and found that it was the connection on my CHT sensor. It was lose enough to cause it to lose the connection from vibration. I'd be driving down the road and all of a sudden, engine cuts and I coast to a stop. then I'd start it up, runs for a few minutes then cuts out again. Start it up runs, and cuts out. Kept happening sporadically and i couldn't find the cause until I read Brads trouble shooting.

Then I checked all the connections for the sensors and the CHT connections just pulled apart with no effort. I crimped on a new female spade, and everything worked fine after that.
