Auto Parts: mitsubishi Nativa 2000 (diesel engine - Jeep), diesel mechanic, pep boys


Question
Hi.. Having problem to keep the vehicle engine going after a long time (about 1/2 day) without use.  It starts ok, but must keep accelation up to about 250 revolution to avoid from cutting out.  Sorry if the terms are not correct, have little to no knowlege about auto-mechanic.
What could the problem be ? Once the transmission was overhauled.  Once the engine is warmed up... it runs ok.

Answer
Hi Elizabeth,

I wish I were able to assist you but I am not a diesel mechanic and running/drivability problems with diesel engines is not something I know.

Sorry.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
