after some help for a friend at work

[BAV1]

as he's at a loss and doesn't seem to be getting anywhere and running out of ideas

here's the problem
"
The engine runs ok and then just cuts out, sometimes it’s hard to start as though getting no fuel even after priming, I’ve bled the pump, in fact I’ve put a new one on now and filter. The garage has run diagnostics on the electrical and done bubble test on fuel, checked all pipes and still no joy. I’ve been told that it could possibly be the sensor under the rocker cover, but that’s been checked, supposedly, the guy I sent it to is normally pretty good on diesel 4x4(Toyotec)I’ve used him for years.
"
any ideas on what to check next any idea appreciated think its an isuzu trooper

cheers in advance guys

something in the tank
many moons ago some bugga put a rag in my jcb tank every now and then it would just cut out or would not start
if i lifted the front end with the loading shovel it would fire back up no prplem
turned out it was a rag in the tank

If it runs and then just cuts out and will not start may be it's something electrical. Have you checked the crank position sensor, TPS or that the pump is getting power?

Its a 3ltre Isuzu trooper, P reg if this helps

thanks guys
