My first thought is the alternator regulator,if that is on its way out or already out then this mite happen.i do not know where your regulator is on your alternator but giving them a little tap on them sometimes gets them working again.It sounds like you battery is not getting charged imo.Hopefully someone mite chime in and have a better idea.
The thing is with the regulator - eventually your battery will die,it won`t be getting charge.If the battery is not losing charge at all and as you say keeps on starting all the time,it mite be as `Seth S said.
First question. Manual or automatic?
If manual then the EDIC motor is activated for a short time which cuts out the injection pump.
If automatic then your butterfly intake manifold is shut due to a vacuum issue.
Report back and we will find the cause hopefully.

It's a manual
sounds like replacing the fuel filter would be a solid low cost place to
start , since we know u get some fuel , then it starves out ?
the gets more and can run again .......
i would also make sure you one way vented oem gas cap is not stuck
valve shut ?
another low cost parts replacement for good measure
- what point's to electrical a issue here ?
sound more basic / fundamental ..........

I don't think it's your alternator. Once a 2H is started, you could remove the alternator altogether and it would still run.
There is an oil pressure switch that shuts the EDIC off, mentioned by SVED above. How's the oil pressure level on the dash gauge?
Also how does it shut down? Does it stop dead? Or sputter and cough? How long does it run before it shuts down?
It might be worthwhile to post this in the Diesel Forum, 2H's can be found in a bunch of different Landcruisers, and there are a bunch of knowledgable people in that forum who may not be in this one much...

Hi, Sounds like it's starving for fuel. Is the filter old any fuel leaks? Mike
Sounds like the same thing that happened to my 3b in a 70...edic .
It would run a while then shut down. Wait a while and it would start up again then repeat.
According to Marv Specter who told me over the phone what it was, they get moisture inside and
the contacts corrode . he was right

Where are you? Help can hopefully been found close by. Post this same problem in the diesel section. This seems to
be a diesel specific problem. My first inclination is vacuum line leak is triggering the shutoff, but my actual knowledge is
too limited to be helpful. Are you mechanical enough to get in there and work on it a bit?
I’ll run this by a local guy I know and see what he says.
