Hi list people,
After finally finishing my 2 month's worth of weekends spring tuneup on my
van this saturday, I got to take it out for the first ride of this year.  My
van WAS working great, drove about 50 miles or so on the highway, then
stopped at a stoplight, and upon taking off, my van sputtered and died. At
first I thought I was out of gas, since I forgot to fill up because I was so
excited to go for a ride.  As it turns out, we got some gas and it still
wouldn't start.  My guess is that the fuel pump died.  My van was towed home
behind a truck, and if I let the clutch out it would run fine, but as soon
as I put the clutch in to rev it to see if it would stay running, it would
quit again.  I have replaced the fuel lines, the fuel filter, the plugs, and
cap and rotor.  The fuel pump is running when I try to start it, but no gas
is getting to the engine.  Am I on the right track thinking its the fuel
pump?
thanks,
Kim
