Subject:      Uh-Oh! Hit a bump!! Engine Quit!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Argh!! Anyone want to come and tow Ol' Red away before I call the crushers!!!

Kidding of course - but I've had nothing but frustrations with this van since two weeks before Christmas. Fix one thing, and immediately on it's heels comes something else. And being winter, and having to work outside, and having to shuffle cars back and forth because there is only one level spot to work - it's become a real challenge to work on it.

When I hit the bump - engine quit suddenly stone cold - not even a sputter. I pulled off the road still in gear - when suddenly the engine caught and started again. I got home with no more incidents.

Today I cannot trouble shoot. Sleet, snow beginning shortly and through Tuesday, then Dr. Apptmt Wed, and a home project Thursday, and it goes on. At some point i will get back to trouble shooting.

I am so looking forward to spring!!!

Sorry, Volks, I just had to grouse a little this morning, and get this off my chest.

Thanks for your patience!!

John
