Hello Vanagoneers!

A quick question: suppose you had an '89 named, say, Zola for about a
year. Now Zola has always started no problem. In fact, she's run like
a champ (she is, after all, named after Zola Budd). Suddenly one day,
like today, she won't start. She turns over and over, but doesn't
engage at all. No cough, no sputter, nothing.
Nothing out of the ordinary has happened since the last time you
started her. Assuming you've checked that she has gas, what's the next
thing you'd check? The fuel pump? If not that, what?
I'd, oops, you'd like to take her camping tomorrow so am hoping for an
easy/quick fix.
Any suggestions you might offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Tim Englund
Ellensburg, WA
