Re: Intermittently Dies
So I was able to travel to Wyoming this past weekend and bring my motorhome back. It turns out it was the in-tank fuel pump AGAIN. They said that the whole fuel sender assembly was rusted around the pump or something like that. I had them replace the whole assembly. Thank you again everyone for your ideas!772Views0likes0CommentsRe: Intermittently Dies
As far as I can tell the CEL does not stay on... I thought initially that it was on but I think it's just lit up as it always is when you first turn the ignition on before you start the engine. I've scanned it but never got a code. I'll try to get a fuel pressure gauge on it.773Views0likes0CommentsRe: Intermittently Dies
Changed the coil but only made it 15 miles or so before it died again. At this point, I'm just trying to get home but I'll look for the tools you mentioned. It's hard to say for sure but as it starts to starve for fuel, there might be a misfire or two mixed in, if that matters.772Views0likes0CommentsRe: Intermittently Dies

Find the distributor and follow back the wire that is connected to the center terminal of the distributor cap. Will do. In the meantime, I re-read the thread another time and focused in on the fuel pump regulator. I replaced it last night and have been driving ever since save for some refueling and resting stops.773Views0likes0CommentsRe: Intermittently Dies

It locks the connector in place against vibration so somehow has to be worked loose. Then a mounting screw or two. Just trace that distributor cap cable to find the Coil. Should cost $10 - $40 This thing?299Views0likes0CommentsRe: Intermittently Dies
I have no toad or other heavy baggage, AC stopped working long ago, and I have no experience changing a coil... Does it sounds like that's a possibility? If so, is it in the realm of possibility to change it out on the roadside? I did make it in to town so I have some resources available... Thanks!229Views0likes0Comments
