Empathy. My daughter's 91 blower died a week or so ago as did the
blower in my 83 diesel westy. That one is fixed, gotta do the other.
That will make the fourth dash pull on three vanagons in one year and
one month. I'm getting pretty good at it. Not that I want to be.

Then it will run for a while (maybe 10 or so minutes) and stop again. I did notice that right before it stops it it starts sounding hesitant or choppy. After that it won't come on till the next time I drive.
