Make sure the filter is installed in right direction and that you used high pressure rubber hose if you replaced any...or that the seals are in place if you had to use fuel line disconnector tool...

SOURCE: My toyota EE111 car is getting some chattering

check water pump, usually give an unusual sound coming from the engine, try shaking the pump with the engine off, if you feel a vibration, its a positive thing that the water pump bearings are gone, or worn out.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Looks like that the distributor coil is faulty. If the coil is faulty you'll have a power loss, one good reason why it starts then shuts off. Have it replaced first and observe how it goes.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Car shutting off

Hi,
whilst i am not familiar with the actual car i would say...
if it cuts out immediately then its electrical...check coil, ignition amplifier etc.
If the car cuts slowly by losing power, spluttering etc it will be fuel related....fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel filter.
Does the car restart immediately or do you have to leave it for a while?
what happens just prior to the vehicle shutting down?

My 2007 ford transit loses power and then cuts out

I have a 2.4 diesel 375 nm model and i have been told that the problem is solved by installing the correct fuel filter. Mine loses all power and stops, and the curly light comes on, and I switch it off and start it again. It works every time but is bloody dangerous on a hill when passing someone and towing a trailer.

Couple of months ago would cut out when but start immediately

hallo
I dont belive it is air that is cousing your problem. Think it is more an electrical isue. I have had some problems with relay module (engine bay, near engine computer). And check fuel lift pump.
hope it helps

Volvo 940 se turbo estate 1995 engine cuts out whilst driving will restart in minutes have renewed fuel filter ignition switch fuel pressure ok will be ok for a while then fault returns

I would replace the fuel pump relay, and the engine speed sensor. I would need more information to rule one or the other out, but at this mileage, neither part is terribly expensive, and both have been known to cause your same exact condition
