M1009 Stalling while driving

[Pballer71]

Yesterday i was driving my M1009 it was running great no problems what so ever then all of a sudden the truck just shut off. So i costed to the side of the road. I tried to start it for a few minutes and it wouldn't start. So after sitting there scratching my head for a few minutes and looking up online what might have happened i read somewhere to dump cold water on the IP. So i dumped a little water on it and tried to start it again. The truck started right up like normal. Then after a few miles on the way home it died again. Tried starting it again and no luck so i dumped more water on the IP and it fired right up and i was able to make it home. So my question is does this mean its time for a new IP or what else could be causing the truck to shut off like it is?

The fuel shutoff solenoid on the IP is probably going bad.

So when it heats up thats causing it to fail and pouring cold water on it helps it? Just trying to understand
Thank you!

I have read that the cold water cure on the IP is a sign of bad rotor in the IP.

AM General factory trouble line told me to put wet cloth on IP when I had hot start problem. It did work but have later read several places that is not a good idea and can cause damage to IP.

Sounds like ill try the fuel shut off solenoid and if that doesn't work move to the rotors

PBALLER71, Also check all fuel lines for cracks. Probably should look around the filter for any signs of leaking fuel. I've had issues like this where the crack stays closed when cold, but as the rubber heats up and it is more pliable, it starts bouncing around and sucks air into the line as it lets fuel drip out. The ngine becomes fuel starved and dies. The cracks can be hard to spot if you don't bend every inch looking for them.

Good luck.

You didn't mention miles on your 1009,but I would think its time for IP overhaul.
