I got a call from my daughter telling me that her car (89 244) died just driving down the road. Found out she had just gone over a railroad track before it quit. hmmm, ok so I go get the car, drive it towards the shop and on the way it quits..Pull over at a store, put it in park and started it up. Drove all the way back with no incident. Spent a day going over it. Let it run over several hours and no repeat of it dying. Take it out on the road and within a few minutes it dies. Pull over and it starts and drives back again with no incident. Checked everything..And I mean everthing. From the rear to the front. Found it by accident. The prepump was running until a jolt of the vehicle made it stop. Just by attempting to start the car it made enough of a bump to get the pump to run again. After pulling the prepump I discovered that you could tap it and it would quit or if it was not running you could tap it and it start running. Replaced it and solved the problem.
