1994 LC 80 with 142,600.
Changed the oil & oil filter yesterday, gave her a wash and hosed down the engine compartment. Did not pressure wash or spray engine hard, just a good rinsing with the nozzle at gentle shower.
Drove car after wash, ran fine. Drove car this morning about 10 miles came home to pick something up and was heading out to work. Engine cuts out when I hit 35 to 40 mph, back off it comes back, gas it again it cuts out, this now happens when every I hit 35 to 40 mph. If I am really gentle with the accelerator I can get it up to speed say 60 but if I get on gas at all it cuts out.
Here what I have done:
1. Searched Ih8mud, one guy traveling from Houston to Austin had the similar problem but it only happed to him when he hit a bump, that tread unfortunately stopped before a fix was posted.
2. Checked fuse box on drive side engine, fine no water, no blown fuses
3. Checked distributor, no water.
4. Pulled hose between engine and air filter, no cracks hose and bellows.
5. Checked all connections around the area of oil filter, thought maybe I knocked one off during the change. Everything looks fine.
6. Checked codes, got a code 83, C-Dan said that was a non-issue with the problem I am having.
The only thing I have figures out, truck runs fine for about 15 to 20 minutes, I can stand on it as hard as I want with no problems, then after 15 to 20 minutes engine starts cutting out past the 35 to 40 mph mark. Anyone out there had a problem like this?
