Hey All!
I had a new alternator put on last week. Who knows if that matters. Today my wife was driving it, running fine. Came back out after 10 minutes and the thing would restart but would not reach rpm's above about 700 then cut off. It smelled like it was running rich. I tried starting it, then pushing the accelerator, and that made no difference (like I had never even stepped on the gas), then would rough idle for about 30 seconds then shut off. All belts are in place, fluids look OK too. HELP! Think fuel filter? Or maybe some sensor? Cat Converter?
Never a dull moment with these things.
Thanks fellow rover nuts!
