Hi, I posted yesterday that I had a problem with my van dying while driving. Sometimes it would lose power for a couple seconds and then run fine. Other times it would just die while sitting at a stop light. On all occasions so far it would start back up and on I went. Well, it was time for some maintenance anyway and I decided to mess around. I thought the fuel pump could be the culprit so I swaped with a known good one. Didn't help. I put on a new fuel filter.....and a new ground wire to the fuel pump......didn't help. I then traced the wire that brings power to the fuel pump (it is white with #32) on it to the box above the ignition coil. If I wiggle around the conector in there I could get a test light to go on and off. This is the part I'm not sure of.......should the test light stay lit indicating that there is constant power going to the pump?? (cause that isn't what happened) I then swaped out the resistors in the box with known good ones.........the van seemed to run fine today but I didn't drive it for any extended period. Any ideas????????????
