Morning all,
Had a big dump of 20" heavy snow that's killed the power grid here. Internet was out. Cleaning up I blew a hard line on the tractor cleaning up, fought to get the plow on my truck without tractor help (not recommend) and here is where it got interesting. Plowed myself and one neighbor out, returned home. Wife says friend has tree across driveway and needs plowed out too. So I head back out.
Just as I'm sitting in the middle of the road and getting ready to drop the plow for the first pass the engine dies...... Crap, I didn't see any odd indications before it shutdown. Cranked the engine again, oil pressure comes up but no start. Waited about 20 seconds, a long crank starts the engine. It now has very low power, check engine light. I make for home ASAP. Got to the parking spot and I see the oil pressure drop to zero followed by immediate shutdown. Check engine light on.
I sat there and thought about possibilities, I have just replaced the IPR and pressure sensor. I started it once more, it starts and idles for a minute. Then again, oil pressure to zero and engine shutdown.
I have the ICE interface, not the whole kit, just the small box and cables. Does anyone have a link to the software? I had it somewhere and have lost it.
Oil quantity is good.
Anyone have a similar problem with a low power/shutdown situation?
