This happened to me except it did not restart. It turns out that the fuel pump lead that is loomed together in the wiring harness broke. You may be having the same problem, but the wire has not severed completely. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Golen" <rgolen@HOTMAIL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 5:26 PM Subject: Re: Engine quit
Happened to me once. Check the power lead at the fuel pump. Make sure its on securely.
