My 87' Comanche has been giving me issues after every drive. Seems like one drive = 2 repairs lately. I have done plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, injectors, distributor cap and rotor, fuel pump is not very old, was replaced with new fuel tank (All of this work done over time not at once). cooling system is all new, pulleys, belts and hoses are new, alternator, and various other things. I baby this truck and it has been absolutely reliable until the last month. I replaced plugs, plug wires, and took it to a shop to do the distributor cap and timing. Got it back and it drove great for one day. Then it wouldn't start for almost a month. I tried it two days ago and its alive again and runs fantastic for the day. I did multiple trips in it to see if it would crap out on me again and it didn't that day. Today, won't turn over. Battery seemed a little low so I put the trickle charger on and got it back up, still will not start. Just cranks. Before (after getting it from the shop) it would turn over, sputter, almost die if you revved it, and eventually die after 10 seconds or so. Now it does not start at all. Any ideas? I am leaning toward a bad fuel pump, and I can tow it to a shop to have it worked on, but if I can figure this out and do the work myself, it would be great. One thing I should note, it is 25 degrees cooler today than the day it ran fine if that helps.
here's the other funny thing about this truck, I pass an airport on my way to work. I drive 12 miles and then I pass the airport. Every single time I pass that airport it will just about shut off. It sputters, lurches, and then goes back to normal once I am past the airport and at work. I have no idea why it does this, but it does it every time I pass the airport. Anyone have a clue why it would do this?
