Subject:Intermittent stalling???
From:Andy Zappe
Date:Wed, 3 Mar 2004 23:00:11 EST

I have had the car towed 3 times, every time it gets to the mechanic and will 
start!!!� I have done the fix for intermittent syndrome soldering a capacitor 
within the AFM.� New battery is in.

Symptoms:� 85 camper van dies, just shuts off, while cruising along, never at 
a stop.� Has happened in second, third, and fourth gear.� It may go 3 to 4 
weeks between stalls.� The quickest it has restarted has been about ten minutes, 
usually more like several hours to days.� There is plenty of power when it 
cranks but no go!!!!!!� Runs fine then when it restarts and who knows when it 
will happen again.

Baby is coming in may so I would like to diagnose and figure out what it is 
so I won't fear going anywhere with the child and getting stuck.

I currently keep my bike in there that way I won't get stuck!!!  

What else should I be checking?? Electrical?? Fuel????

Andy
