Subject:87 SynroGL-No start

So I was in Angle Fire New Mexico this weekend and the van decided to quite
on me. Drove out Friday afternoon and camped at the ski area. Woke up
Saturday morning and the engine cranks strong, but won�t fire up? Removed
the fuel line at the fuel rain and no fuel is coming out while cranking the
engine. Removed fuel filter to check for clog. No clog. When key is turned
on I can hear the fuel pump engage for about 5-10 seconds, then switch off.
Had the van towed to Metric Auto in Taos NM. They were closing up, but from
my description he said it �could be the Pre-pump in the fuel system�. Do our
vans have this?? Anyway needless to say it was an ugly weekend, the van is
in Taos and we are back in Colorado. Just wanted to hear any Ideas. I should
get a call today or tomorrow and will give an update.
Also if there is a �pre-pump� in the tank is this a huge job? How much would
I be looking at?
