weird engine/gearbox problems in lux

Post by 83-mud-lux »

my lux has a 4y petrol with '88 5 speed diesel box in it.
i took it out to glasshouse mtns on the weekend and on the way out there the hilux was runnin rough.

when we went out wheelin every time u went up even a slight hill it wont run properly.well my mate got stuck so i turned my car off and when i turned it back on it ran fine till u tried to take off and it died in the ass.didnt matter how high u revved the thing soon as clutch got pressure on it it woud stall but if u stop and start it again it works fine.

i hav tried it in 4wd hi,low and 2wd and it doesnt make a difference .

i dont hav the faintest where to start lookin but i was hopin u guys can help me out. i need it fairly urgently cus its my daily driver.
