The long and short: bought a BJ42 a couple years ago, it ran great when I parked it. I replaced the hand pump with the Bosch one as recommended. The fuel lines from the tank to the hand pump are new rubber. I have a return line from the engine back to the tank. Nothing seems to be visibly leaking, although the injectors weep a tiny bit on occasion. EDIC appears to be in full working order. When I prime it, it starts up and runs great. After a few minutes at idle, it starts running a little rough, then deteriorates to shaking, chugging, and eventually a stall out. We haven’t driven the truck on the road for any significant time yet.
Our two theories are either SOMETHING (dunno what) letting in air, or perhaps the fuel pump not supplying enough fuel at idle.
Thoughts?
