[T2] Good News

[accessys at smart.net]

electric fuel pump on my 78 drove me nuts with similar problem with a 
loose wire on the connector.

if mechanical fuel pump check to see if there is a diaphram hole in the 
pump.

I also once many years ago with a 60 drove myself nuts with a similar 
problem, finally found a tiny pinhole in vacuum side of fuel line, worked 
fine until it got warm then allowed air in.   barely nursed it home 
several times.


good luck
Bob

I let it idle for a bit, I even ran my gas heater - everything seemed and sounded fine in the driveway. Idled for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then I figured I'd take a test drive around the corner. Drive fine for about 1 mile, then stuttering and stopping again. I limped the bus home - multiple starts and stops.
