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

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?
