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.
