I would think that almost all diesel systems are near infallible, I didn't look it up but my first look would be at the solenoid on the pump to see if is shorting at low voltage. My second look would be to my fuel pump at the tank or inline. The other place would be to the ignition switch. These are some simple but obvious points to start with. If you are having more problems after these checks , you will need a mechanic. You could have a broken injection head that will allow you to start , accelerate then stall at low rpms.
Problem with emission system - have vehicle scanned to determine problem
What can cause the RPM on a car to jump while driving is a problem with the transmission. It could be a problem with the gears in the transmission itself.
When it dies, is it a sudden stall, or does it run rough, and then die? If its sudden, it is most likely a electrical problem, but if it runs rough, or dies when accelerating, it might be mechanical. Such as the fuel lines, carb, etc.
The mass air sensor sometimes would cause this problem
The problem is likely an electrical one - check your spark plug leads from the distributor to the plugs.
Replacing the fuel filter may fix the problem. Also check the air filter and replace if necessary.
Had the same problem on my '00 4.7 liter. Turns out it was the throttle position sensor. Sensor was replaced at dealer problem disappeared.
I have the same problem with my 2000 Z24. If you are facing the motor, there is a pretty big wiring harnice on the right. If I jiggle it, it will crank back up. I went to the dealer and they charge like $1600 for a new one. If anyone has heard of a recall, please post it.
There are three main possible causes to explain why a car air conditioner is blowing hot air. These causes are a worn out compressor, refrigerant leak, and an electrical problem.
There are multiple electrical and mechanical causes to a no start condition. No fuel pressurization and spark may indicate a fuse or electrical fault, as opposed to a starting system problem alone.
The thermostat could be stuck shut or the water pump could be bad. These are the two most common causes of this problem.
I had a 1990 nissan maxima that use to do that and the problem was my rack and pinion bushings were bad
