cutting out problem

[fazzer]

after owning my 1.9dg autohomes camper for 4 trouble free years had my first issue,i drove out of my road yesterday and the van was kangarooing down the road as well as cutting out on tickover, after a few minutes it was was fine go on motorway still going great,when I exited motorway started kangarooing again and cutting out on tickover.Called out rac but by the time he arrived was fine again rac man couldn't see problem.Think possibly fuel pump but why work then not work ?

Could be a pinhole leak in the fuel line. It draws in air when higher fuel demand but allows normal(ish) flow at lower revs. Have you had the fuel filters cleaned lately? Blocked filters could also cause those symptoms.
If it is a fuel related issue, then a systematic check of the various fuel components is required, starting from the tank, or the carb.

I had similar issues with cutting out which got progressively worse until my van would not tick over at all once up to working temp. It started from cold fine and I could keep it going with a foot on the gas but it ran pretty rough. It turned out to be the vacuum hose on the carb, worth a check.

I'm going over all pipework this week,and I did notice the fuel pipe into the carb is rock hard so will replace that first so probably a bit of luck the van packed up .
