[V8] Wonderful Dead V8

[Greg Furstenwerth]

V8 is ALIVE!!!..... Taking out the fuel pump and shaking it draining it
etc.. made it to where its magic back to life! however I do not trust it
I will /replace the part and be done with it.

Thanks Listers! I have 13,269 emails archived dating back to the day I
got the V8.. I searched the list found the likely culprits and went from
there. Without your help I would have been lost. You guys rock!

Thanks again.

Verdict: Fuel pump is on last leg..  :)
