Subject:      help!

The fuel-injected '75 bus, which otherwise runs nicely, keeps stalling more and more frequently and I'm starting to get quite annoyed. After stalling, it will not start up again, unless I go wiggle some wires at random. Pulling the wire harness to one side appeared to be a solution for a while, but response to this treatment is fading. I removed the harness last night and checked the individual wires, but couldn't find anything wrong. Reinstalled it this morning, using WD40 on the connectors. After that it ran fine for about 80 miles, but subsequently the symptoms returned with a vengeance.

If anyone has even the faintest idea of which connector to which F.I. part is responsible for this, I would really appreciate a message. I plan to resume the return trip from NJ to MO tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

Thank you very much for any help you could provide.
