Subject:Re: engine dies while driving - possible causes?

One of the most difficult diagnosis that I had to deal with was a dieing fuel
pump.  The fuel pump would intermittently fail, and I/we/they accused nearly
every other part of failing instead.  Finally a mechanic put a fuel  pump
pressure gauge on and sure enough, when the engine died, the fuel  pressure had
gone to zero.  What made it so difficult to diagnose was the intermittent nature
of the failure.  Just a "suggestions".  malcolm
