Tow truck came back with the 87 Syncro this afternoon. Engine turns over but still won't start. I discovered my problem! I went under the van and pulled the two leads off and back on the fuel pump and whapped the pump twice with the handle of a screwdriver. Started right up! Now, I'm not sure whether it's the pump or the connection that's bad. At least the problem seems to be narrowed. |
