Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    i know of some thing similar happening to engines where fuel line from filter to injector pump had a tiny hole in pipe caused by rubbing off another or engine mounting. this can also happen anywhere along fuel line as well in cases i know engine just stopped when tank ran low in vans but in truck it was a valve in pump that was slightly rusted, that was under-powered on take off when stopped say at traffic light or other reason, would barely take off or stall eventually but fine when driving along. i presume air venting to fuel tank is ok ie. you dont hear an air intake sound when removing cap. this can cause it too as tank would be slightly vacuumed.

    Could be loose wiring to the fuel pump after the engine replacement. Check for dodgy splicing or the like.
