Baaaaaaah. My up until now 100% reliable van has finally stitched me up. Stalled and wouldn't restart in the pissing rain in San Francisco on Saturday. The fuel pump wasn't priming when I keyed the ignition after so I suspected a dodgy relay or pump (the pump had been getting noisy.)
$700 bucks later, a local Garage got it running again with a new fuel pump assembly, which worked fine for 400 miles back on the freeway but now stalls with irritating regularity in stop start driving. It appears to be a small throttle / closed throttle problem. Nothing obvious I can think that would cause it - maybe a TPS or pump controller issue. I'll have to see if I can find any error codes.
I fucking hate intermittent problems.
