I've had a problem for a while where at times the motor would idle or run rough, like there was air in the system, but it never lasted long.
Well I head out to a call tonight, jump on the highway and at about 50 mph it was like someone shut the key off. I kept the clutch out and the motor turning, and maybe 8 seconds later power came back. I picked up the car (side of highway) and getting back on it did the same thing, no power for some seconds then back on. It ran fine to the customers house (but I took back roads to keep speeds down).
The International has the same setup as the Ford pickups BUT there is a seperator / filter before the lift pump. I don't *think* there are any air leaks. Fuel was about 1/2 tank and I filled it all the way up to be sure, and the truck still did the same thing at high RPM's.
I replaced the seperator / filter a few days ago because of the rough idling, I replaced the filter on the motor a couple months ago.
Any thoughts?
