Hilux cuts out when driving

Post by Baja »

I hope someone can help with this. My Hilux (1995 SFA - 22R 4x4) cuts out when I am driving. No revs, does not stutter, just nothing. Then it starts again while driving with me not doing anything, or I stop and start the car and the engine starts and we continue. I have replaced the fuel pump but still the same problem.

Sounds electrical - maybe a bad connection from the coil to the dizzy.
Do the dash lights also give up at the same time?

Not sure about the dash lights. Will have to check.

That does indeed sounds like something electrical.
Ideas: loose/bad ground wire, fusebox issue, dirty connection with intermittent contact
