Going to look at a turbo diesel and the guy said that it was just driving along just fine, and then all of a sudden wouldn't run anymore.
What do you think that would be? Fuel cut-off solenoid? Only thing that comes to mind for me.
broken timing belt/slipped cam gear
Clogged air/fuel filters
Depends many things, but how abruptly did it stop and that could rule out some.
didn't say it was a broken timing belt, then again if it was, I suspect I'll have some bent valves at best?
What other noises were associated with the run-stop?
I also thought TB, as i remember being in a buddies car that had a tb pop and there were some unpleasant noises immediately afterwards. Before the cussing.
If it was nothing at all i would look at the fuel solenoid electrics and clogs like mentioned above.
