[s-cars] Just cut out and died.

[desmo888 at comcast.net]

I, too, thought it was me fuel pump - no noise.  I jumpered it at the fuse box and found it to be working fine.  I now have the car in exploded view in my garage.  The cps showed up Monday and will go in Friday night.

BTW, my car was purchased by me after the PO said it just stopped running while driving it.  He had it towed to a v-dub dealer and they promptly pushed it outside, refusing to work on it.  Anywho, he had also mentioned that the car was missing at low rpm before the final kill.  I will report back after I get the cps in this weekend.

Ur Kase
the is no substitute...
