Hi Guys,

I bought a 60 series Cruiser new 25 years ago and it has been amazing for all those years.

It is a 4 Litre Diesel Non Turbo with about 300k on the clock.

The Problem:

Driving to the airport the other morning reasonably cold weather say 8c.

Early morning (still dark)

Every 8 to 10 seconds the engine misses. Not konk out just a miss.

I put the high beam on and it becomes more frequent.

I varied the speed 60 , 80, 100Km but this made little or no difference.

Sitting in the car park, stationary at idle. It is still doing it. Missing every 8-10 seconds.

I turn the headlights off and the missing stops and the engine runs smoothly again.

It has literally not missed a beat for 300,000 KM

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks

David

I hey guys, I'm having this exact problem with my hi 60.

i have found that when the car is running with no accessories on it runs great. As soon as I put my headlights on and/or fan that my voltage drops and EDIC motor starts working with the fuel control relay clicking away in the kick panel. 

Now I figured out that when I disconnect the fuel control relay that I can use all accessories and have no issue with Low voltage or the EDIC motor cutting off the fuel supply.

my alternator and battery have just been replaced and voltage is perfect. 

Thoughts please on how to overcome this issue or test that the fuel control relay is the issue??
