Subject:      86 Syncro Engine cut out
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Yesterday, my wife was driving our 86 Syncro on the highway when the
engine
just died on her. (For those who may be interested, it was on Rt 3 going
north
throught Plymouth MA.)

She could not get it restarted so she had it towed.

I drove to the tow company, started it and it fired right up. I went to
pick up my
wife and our children and drove back to the van. It started up again and
I drove
it about 1/2 mile when it died again.

Trying to restart it, initially it seemed like it would catch on 1
cylinder. Then it
wouldn't catch at all and the battery started to drain down.

I'm having it towed to my local mechanic in RI.

Does anyone have any ideas on what we should start to look for? Clogged
fuel filter perhaps?

Please respond via email as I am not subscribed to the list right now.

As always, thanks in advance.
