My 87 Weekender started to cut out randomly, mostly after deceleration over the weekend. I originally thought it was shorting out somewhere by the great quantities of slush on the roadway on Saturday. It has dried up now and is still doing it. I put a pressure gauge on it and it seems to be not caused by a lack of fuel pressure. It seems to want to run but is fuel starved, so I don't think it is ignition. If I turn the key off and restart it it works fine as it does most of the time. It just cuts out after I have coasted while in gear and only some of the time. Any ideas. -- Steve Blackham Centerville, Utah 77 transporter converted to camper (Westy top) 83 Vanagon (New and current project) 87 Weekender |
