RISS has returned ~ The owner of this Van drove it the 10.6mi's out to my place on Sat, without incident, so that I can look into the TranyNoise issue & fix some other stuff (FloppyArmRests). Yesterday while driving it to the home of a TranyGuy I know so he could listen to it & give an opinion, it decided it was time to start MessinWithMe again just 2.2mi's from my place ~ it shut down while cruising & about 35mph in 3rd. I pulled over, turned the key off & back on & it started right up, so I proceeded. A few mi's further it did it again @ about 46mph so that time I did a Restart OnTheFly & the next 6.6mi's, which included a couple of mi's of 65+mph FreeWayDriving, to the TranyGuysPlace went without issue. The TranyGuy & I went for a 3mi' TestDrive without issue. About 1.5mi's into my return trip home @ a point where I was blocking traffic, it quit & would not restart for about 5min's. One more ShutDown & ToughRestart about 1mi' later & then it was fine the rest of the way home. During the ToughRestarts there were some "KeyOns" with NO FuelPumpNoise & some WITH F'P'N'. I'm going to try a new IgnitionSwitch next ~ any other suggestion will be appreciated. ORR~DeanB |
