IF I STEP AT THIS MOMENT AT GAS PEDAL, AND WHILE KEEPING RPM AROUND 1000, SHIFT INTO DRIVE, IT RUNS OK AS IT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS....ONLY UNTIL NEXT TIME... I TURN OFF ALL ELECTRIC DEVICES: RADIO, FAN, LIGHTS WHILE RESTARTING IT. THAT SEEMS LIKE NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCES.

THE VAN'S ENGINE WILL INTERMITENTLY CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN. IN MOST CASES THERE IS NO WAY TO WARN DRIVERS APPROACHING FROM THE REAR THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER OR ARE STOPPED IN THE ROAD. (WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT THERE IS NO WARNING OR NOISE. THE ONLY WAY THE DRIVER KNOWS THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING IS THAT THE POWER STEERING IS GONE OR THE VAN DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN THE DRIVER STEPS ON THE GAS PEDAL.) RESTARTING THE ENGINE MAY TAKE 4 TO 6 TRIES BEFORE YOU CAN PLACE THE VAN BACK IN DRIVE AND CONTINUE. EVEN IF THE DRIVER WERE TO STEP ON THE BRAKES OR TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, OTHER CARS AND MACK TRUCKS APPROACHING FROM THE REAR HAVE A TENDENCY TO RUSH UP ON THE REAR BUMBER BEFORE THEY REALIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS, OBVIOUSLY, VERY UN-NERVING ESPECIALLY...

THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF TBHIS PART. FIRST FAILURE WAS AT 61590 MILES.
