Subject:Help!! Van Dies.....

Hi All,
If it isn't one thing going wrong its another.........this van keeps me
busy!!! Just recently my 85GL started to die.  I could be driving along and
it would buck and just shut down.  It occurs more when sitting at red lights
or idling. But so far it started right back up and on I went.  Here is what
I did to "try" to fix it.  I though it may be my fuel pump slowly
dying.....so I swaped it out with a know good one.  No improvement.  I
checked to see if the ground was screwed.....seemed fine.  I looked at the
wire that connects into the harness for any visible damage.....none that I
can see........

any ideas, I'm going to replace the plugs today just in case????????

let me know of other things to check,

thanks,
Chad 85GL's
