[s-cars] Thanks for the help guys,

[Paul.Park at colorado.edu]

Thanks to Bill, Trevore, Robert, Paul, James, Vincent, Bjorn...all you guys
posed some helpful solutions if this were to happen again.

Cause?

Finicky fuel pump. Fix? Took it out...cleaned off the connection at the fuel
sender...put everything back together, and the car is running like a champ
again.

I hope this doens' thappen again.

Thanks again guys,
Paul
