Hi,

So this morning I fired it up, headed out of town and got about 8 miles
(the nearest small town), slowed down to stop at a light and it started
to hesitate. Luckily the light was with me and I was able to glide
around the corner. But that was it, it wouldn't restart.

Knowing that it would start just fine when cold - on my way home (my
wife had to rescue me and drive me to/from work) - it started up great,
I nearly got all the way home when I let off the gas to go around a
corner, and it stalled. Same thing, no start.

George says I need to check for spark - and I'm thinking that he has a
good clue. The weird thing I noticed the last couple of times, when I
start up from a cold start, the horn honks quietly. Maybe an ignition
switch short that only acts up when the van is warm? We'll see.

Of course, this won't stop me from pulling the fuel regulator again.
And this time I might as well do all the fuel rail lines and injector
seals.

Conrad
