I have a similar problem with my 1991 Westy GL. When I reach turnpike speed and the engine is good and warm, it hick-ups and stalls out as if it's trying to shut-down. It seems like it resets when I briefly turn-off the ignition (at full speed) and then switch on again. That last for a few minutes, then the problem reoccurs. What's the deal? - Carney  '91 Westy GL

Subject: Help! Hesitation on the road!

I'm leaving Sante Fe on the return leg to L.A. The van is hesitating
while on freeway.  Momentary hesitations - randomly every few seconds.

Otherwise running great.  When I had it tuned up it had trouble
starting and mechanic put in new fuel pump relay.

Thoughts?  Just pit in gas also...was running fine before that.  Bad
gas?  Fuel pump?
