One of the most difficult diagnosis that I had to deal with was a dieing fuel pump. The fuel pump would intermittently fail, and I/we/they accused nearly every other part of failing instead. Finally a mechanic put a fuel pump pressure gauge on and sure enough, when the engine died, the fuel pressure had gone to zero. What made it so difficult to diagnose was the intermittent nature of the failure. Just a "suggestions". malcolm
