Well, it IS fuel injected, so the power source is VERY important. The first thing I would look at is the tightness/cleanliness of those battery connections. These sealed batteries have a long life span, but they can still get corroded and loose connections.

Just what i get for bragging on my drifter on here the other day.

1999 drifter 1500,  22,500 miles.

Today on the way to work it started cutting out. all the lights on the panel would come on, then go off and it would run again, it did it about 5 or 6 times until i could get it the 1/4 mile back home.

now it is just nothing, no lights, no fi, light, no oil light, just dead.

I THINK it might need a new battery (i have no idea of the age of the battery.) But being non fuel injected, it would still move fuel.

I have noticed the last 2 days it was a little harder to start than normal.
(read that as it had to turn over for 3 or 4 seconds instead of less than 1) to fire up.

What is everyones thoughts?

Ian
