Subject:Cuts out after deceleration?
From:Steve Blackham
Date:Mon, 26 Feb 2001 23:17:08 -0700

My 87 Weekender started to cut out randomly, mostly after
deceleration over the weekend.  I originally thought it was shorting
out somewhere by the great quantities of slush on the roadway on
Saturday.  It has dried up now and is still doing it.  I put a
pressure gauge on it and it seems to be not caused by a lack of fuel
pressure.  It seems to want to run but is fuel starved, so I don't
think it is ignition.   If I turn the key off and restart it it works
fine as it does most of the time.  It just cuts out after I have
coasted while in gear and only some of the time.   Any ideas.
