Default 1997.5 H1 Wagon starting, stalling problem





I would like to apologize first for reposting this thread again in this section but it seems like this is the most appropriate place for it. New guy, sorry!


Good morning everyone. I have a question about a problem I'm having with my H1. Yesterday I was driving under very normal conditions and the following occured to me:
1. After having started perfectly, I drove the vehicle about 1 mile, stopped, shut it off. I came back about 20 min. later and it would turn over very well but it wouldn't start. After approx. 10 tries it started right up.
2. Throughout the day it started fine on several occasions. Then it happened again. Same thing.
3. I was able to start it again butthen it started to stall on me at slow speeds (15mph r less). 3 times total over a period of approx 2 hours.

I would appreciate any help/insight that anyone can give me. If annyone would like to call me to get a better detailed version feel free to all me anytime at 985-969-0030. My name is Javier.

Also, I would love to meet up with anyone that has an H1 within 50-100 miles of the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area.

Thanks in advance for any help!

probably the pmd. You can try the jedi-water trick to narrow it down. Next time it dies, open the hood and pour a bottle of water over the injector pump (in the valley) then try to start.

I agree with RonB... there seems to be alot of these cases recently... if you do get a new PMD make sure you pick up a relocation/cooler setup so it is away from the heat!

Man at first I thought the 2 of you where messing with him talking about the "Jedi Water Trick" and "Down in the Valley" lol. I was going to tell him to get a new flux capacitor or check the mufflet bearings. lol Just goes to show I dont know squat about Diesels.

Nope, they are dead on. It is a common problem on the H1s due to the mounting location. Once it starts it just keeps getting worse. Take car of it now and re-install with the relocation kit.
