Title: Help needed, non vauxhall question
Post by: JimE on 14 September 2012, 23:14:07
A mate has a Mitsibushi L200 pickup, it wouldn't start and the AA suggested fuel filter as hadn't been changed for 30k (don't ask!). Well now it starts, runs like a pig for a bit and dies. Any suggestions guys?

Could be many things... Contaminated fuel for one. Has he filled up recently?

Yeah air in the system was my first thought, as for the injector pipes,  thats what I have suggested they do, they are going to work on it tomorrow. Apparently the fuel isnt contaminated though how they know that I am not sure.
