View Full Version : Engine cuts out at operating temp

First time out for the season. Started right up, warmed up good, then when I advanced the throttle I lost power at 2000 rpm only to have the engine back fire. I continued advancing the throttle to see if it were bad gas. After playing w/ it i found the common denominator is cutting out at operating temp and now it will not start back up till the engine cooled at least an hour later. And it seems the more i started the engine to get it to move back to the dock the poorer the engine ran till it cut out again. Any thoughts?

fuel related. Check the fuel pressure at the rails. Sounds like a pump problem.

Fuel filter and fuel pump, and new gas.

I really think the gas is the biggest problem.
get rid of the old and start fresh, then move to the fuel filter and then the fuel pump.

Swapped the cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, distributor module, and coil pack. Checked fuel filter, not too bad but have one on order. Disconnected the supply line coming from the low pressure pump to the high pressure pump to check fuel flow. When I kick the ignition the low pressure pump buzzes but no fuel comes out. Plenty of flow coming in. So my new low pressure pump comes in tomorrow w/ the fuel filter. Crossing my fingers ill let u know. Thanks for the help 98 supra pirata

Finally got it fixed. Turned out it was the distributor.

How did u find out it was the distributor. I have same problem, run for 10 to 20 min then dies , turn key and it starts right back up and gets worse and worse.
Hour later it starts back and does same thing

The boat runs great for 10 to 15 minutes at 2000 rpm's then dies, starts right back up but will only run in at idle speed. What sensors work the computer or some people talk about the distributor going bad. Its a 1995 supra

Sounds like a bad case of WIF to me.....

WIF=water in fuel

Pull the fuel filter and dump it into a glass gar. Let it sit for an hour or so and inspect for water. If you see some then add some fuel treatment or if it is very bad sometime a suck down of the fuel tank is required.

Thanks but do u no where the filter is on a 95 because I cant find it. The only thing I can find is the fuel separator.

Filter or the water separator would be the more specific name of it.
