Morning from the US
I am a long time Safari/Patrol Owner, Ive had 5 or 6 over the years. I'm an importer in the US.
My current daily driver is a rare beast, Its a 94 Safari AD (UN Spec) NA TD42 24volt Automatic with 7,000 kms, No, seriously it has 7,000 kms.
I bought it 6 months ago, it was apparently a never delivered UN vehicle. It was driven 15kms a month and serviced every 6 months.
It is literally new in the wrapper.
Here is my problem, it starts fantastic no matter what them outside temp, glow plugs work a charm. Runs beautifully.
When the outside temp nears freezing it still starts beautifully but after 2 or 3 minutes it wantS to DIE.
If it just sitting running it will gradually start to drop rms from 900 to stall like it is running out of fuel, then a very hard restart. then feels like its running on 4 or 5 cylinders until it clears its throat. Blows lots of dark smoke while trying to get it to rev back up
If I am driving it after start it runs fine, but if i let off the throttle even at 60kms it will drop rpm's and die. If I come to a stop, same thing.
When cold it can also start to die even being driven hard at 100km/ph
ONE other Item, While it is idling and starting to die, if I depress the priming pump every 2 or 3 seconds it stays running
It takes reaching full operating temperature before it will stop acting this way.
Injection pump is also noisy
I have a second 96 Granroad TD42. It exhibits NONE of these symptoms in exact same temps, same fuel, same everything.
This is NOT a cold fuel issue
Facts
Replaced fuel filter and checked all plastic lines
Only happens when its cold outside, near or below freezing
Its done this since I got it 3 months ago at 5,500 kms
We have installed the DTS Turbo system, made no difference
I have run fuel treatment in it every fill up
Does not matter the orientation of how I park it, uphill downhill all the same
Runs absolutely beautifully and strong as an ox UNLESS I come to stop or completely lift off throttle
Once fully warmed up it has ZERO symptoms.
I have another 96 Safari with factory Turbo TD42 and his has never exhibited any similar symptoms
Any help is GREATLY appreciated and anyone that can properly diagnose it I will send a Bottle of Jack Daniels!!!
