Subject:      WHYit wouldn't start

Hi list,
Here is an update on what happened with my 85gl that was running, then it
decided to quit and not start again.  After determining that the fuel pump
was not working correctly, I replaced it and tried to start the van, and it
still would not start.  Then I rechecked some of the work I had done the
previous weekend, and I found out the distributor cap and rotor were the
wrong part #, and it worked at first, then the center part of the cap that
runs the coil was stuck.  I put the old one back on and it started right up.
The moral of the story is....double check all new part #'s before you put in
the parts....especially when the place you ordered the parts from screwed up
3 of 4 previous orders(this was a list vendor that has been discussed many
times on this list.)  I'm glad it was a cheap fix, and my van is back on the
road, and running great.
happy vanning,
Kim
