This tool can be a handy way to get to the bottom of things without
needless parts purchases or fruitless parts swapping. We were almost
home from a long trip a few months ago when our new 87 van suffered the
"won't start and don't hear the fuel pump" scenario. My wife was pretty
pleased when I whipped this bypass tool out, hooked it up, and got us home.
