I wrote some time ago about my 88 weekender cutting out.  I don't know
if that has
completely stopped yet but I found something important to share.  It
has been
posted many times but, CHANGE YOUR FUEL LINES.

I thought I'd start checking grounds and whatever else.  I smelled
gas.
The fuel return hose from the drivers side fuel rail was wet with gas.
It was one of
those cloth covered types and it was wet for about 3".

I let the engine cool off and I got the water hose out.  My son and I
changed the
hose and it's opposite.

So I am wondering if I was loosing to much fuel pressure and that was
cutting the engine off?

I guess I'll know after I drive it a while.
