Well, after pulling the van apart and putting it back together again, electircally, it was running smoothly. So I risked the trip from Winnipeg to Calgary (1400km). First 100 km went fine, then the engine started die-ing again. Tach going to zero, then coming right back up (read previous posts). Turned around and got 40 km before it was happening all the time. Van would start, then die immediately. My wife was not a happy woman.

So, its towed and in the shop, whatever the problem is, I can't find it or fix it. We'll see what the shop says.

Gregor
