        I was checking out my 88 Weekender for a family mountain trip and spotted a
dripping leak (with engine running) behind the firewall. It was a gas line
leak from the original old cracked rubber fuel line tube between the firewall
and the fuel pump line. Thank God I found it (we could have been fried up
somewhere in the mountain....) I replaced it and noticed an heisitating bug
was gone and improvement in acceleration and gas mileage... Alleulia!
        For those of you with heisitating bug, I suggest checking out the fuel pump
and fuel line for pressure and leakage with engine running. I will pursure in
checking out the fuel pump pressure later on.
        Low fuel pressure probably contributed to my past heisitating bug. BTW the
mountain trip was very enjoyable with the new-found acceleration and gas
mileage...
