<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I checked fuel pressure and it is exactly where it should be .And also the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;pressure holds, I removed all spark plugs and they are dry and tan
<DIV></DIV>&gt;colored. So without removing the fuel injectors I would guess they are not
<DIV></DIV>&gt;leaking. Now with that Maybe the coil is not up to capacity after I go to
<DIV></DIV>&gt;restart engine It fires along with the starter if I floor it, slowly it
<DIV></DIV>&gt;will sputter along for a minute and die. After doing everything else It
<DIV></DIV>&gt;will start up daily from going to work and start when I leave work so I
<DIV></DIV>&gt;think maybe still that something In the electric end of all this. I will
<DIV></DIV>&gt;check or just replace the coil who knows ? It does idle and run fine all
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the time It is just not restarting after sitting for more than 15 minutes .
<DIV></DIV>&gt;And yes I replaced the TempII sensor That some other folks thought was the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;problem. The coil does not feel hot or show any signs of leakage, Question c
<DIV></DIV>&gt;an you use A coil from a newer van?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Thanks for any replies
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hans.
