I was having issues with my van. I have driven it around some, but not a lot. Only once did it start acting up, and I switched the electric fuel pump on, and off again, and it would run fine. So I was still not sure if it was a fuel, or fire problem
This morning we had to deliver a washer and dryer to Asheville. All was fine until I started up Old Fort Mnt. It started it again. Finally got it up the Mnt, and got off on the Black Mnt exit to find an Advance Auto. I got a fuel filter, and an ignition box. I felt the old ignition box and it was warm. Cranked up and ran fine for about 10 miles or so and started it all over again. I felt the new ignition box, and it was as cool as a cucumber. So, I went walking to the Patton Ave Advance. A mile and a half later, I had a new coil in hand. Some of Leslie outlaws came to my rescue and took me back to the van, coil installed, still same issue. So, I coasted into yet another parking lot and started checking more stuff. I checked fuel to the carb, to the pump, and so on. I then pulled the new filter and tried blowing thru it and it was very hard to blow thru. poured some gas into it and knocked it on my hand and saw "stuff" looked at the bottle that we used to catch the gas and it had very fine sediment in the bottom. So, I went back to the Advance, got a new carb filter, and an inline filter, and so far after about 65 Miles, it didn't do it again.
Soooo I hope the gremlin is gone.
