I know I haven't bugged ya'll on awhile but here goes. Was thinking of selling Gringo for reasons not to be disclosed. Buyer drove it 30 miles...I drove it another 30 and then cleaned him out and left him at the buyer to take to mechanic. Van would not STAY started and I pulled the filter and gas flowing front to back ok. Had to rev it to reverse and then died in drive. Restarted and once moving...all is ok. Ok at stop light too. Advice needed. Fuel filter seems ok...pump is running...gas is ok. I think maybe timing is off. I also think Gringo does not want to be sold...spooky. Anyway I will start with that and rely on my friends to help me diagnose. Will prob not sell now. Voodoo and whatnot. Thanks in advance.
