International 4700 Diesel

My name is Matt. I work for an auto repair shop in Arizona. We have two
tow trucks, but International 4700 diesels. One has been out of service for
about 6 months. The problem is that while we are driving it, it cuts out
intermittently; it will drive, then the "WAIT TO START" light will flicker
on and the engine will stall, immediately following the light will go off
and it will drive again. It keeps this up: off, on, off, on, off...on until
it stalls and we have to start it. Finally, the truck wouldn't start
anymore, and it sat for 6 months. Today, the same exact thing happened to
our once-working truck. Exactly the same thing. Our mechanics have looked
at it, checked the fuses and done other things, but we are stumped. We even
had our 6 month truck at a diesel shop and THEY couldn't figure it out. I
don't know if you've ever heard of this problem, but we are desperate, now
with 2 out of our three (and both flat beds) tow trucks are out of
commission, and we hope you can help us.



Thank you.

Sounds like you need to take them into a International/Navistar dealer for
proper troubleshooting and repair.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
