Coincidently I just spoke to Brian who is a friend of mine. However that
happened, he did think you told him it would $800 just to start helping.

He is broken down far from home with his wife and son on vacation so he
is feeling a little stressed. I hope to help him do a few basic
troubleshooting steps and then he can decide what more to do from there.
I suspect his problem is minor as far as fixing it. It may be major as
far as determining exactly what the problem is and getting parts.

I'd go with 2 distrubtors and 2 ECU's at least, plus a bunch of tools.                That sounds high to me..........but if it's several hours driving, plus gas, plus time working on the van, plus parts.......( just laoding up with *everything* I think I might need to fix his van could take me 4 + hours ) ...............
