Joe sent me this further info.

My feeling is that if a vehicle suddenly stops working, you should not
be looking at parts that may be out of adjustment or may have worn past
a level of tolerance.  You should be looking for something that has
broken.

Most likely that would be something electrical, since you seem to have
checked out most of the mechanical options (have you checked the wiring
to the hall unit?).  Are you near anyone with a "known good" set of FI
parts, especially the ECU.  One of the beauties of EFI is the easy
interchangeability of parts.  If you're in Phoenix, call me and I'll
loan you whatever you need.

The van died while driving hwy speed and never wanted to start up
so I've been on a mission to get it back on the road, I will test the
injectors for spray Saturday and I know my relays are working.

I'll check the timing also, what would make this just go outta wack?

BTW I never fix things that arent broken :)

thanks
Joe
