[200q20v] Mysterious Stalling

[Phil & Judy Rose]

The common stalling symptom (with TBV failure) involves sudden 
off-throttle maneuvers--usually with hard braking and stopping. Not 
during cruising with open throttle.

Tom's problem could be related to fuel--fuel pump failure? How noisy 
is your fuel pump, Tom?
