Subject:      HELP!!! 87 Won't start!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi All,

I need some help....my 87 won't start. It was running fine...then I stopped at the supermarket to get some stuff for dinner and it refused to start.

Here's what I've found so far:

1. it gets spark.... 2. the fuel pump won't work, however if I jump it directly from the battery it works 3. the plugs are dry, so I'm thinking the injectors aren't working either 4. one of the relays in the box above the coil "hums"

What could it be??? I desperately need the van this weekend...lots of traveling to do...

Thanks in advance.

Ric
