yup nothin could be truer this moring the ford van desided to die in the midle of a busy road at a trafic light. so i got woke up a 5 in the moring after a nice 3 hours of sleep and had to drive up to see what was wrong and with the great info i got i just hoped in the maro thinking it just died and was sitting on the side of the road out of the way, but come to find out that its at the center of a busy hill. i knew right away i couldnt push the thing cause with the load in the back it probly weights 6-7 thousand pounds in which case i would have brought the bronco and a tow strap. but i threw some gas in it hoping the gauge was busted but of course nothing, plus with my shity gas can most of it got on me so at this point im running on 3 hours of sleep and the smell of gas and there are people that are to stupid to know what hazzard lights mean that keep honking like thats gona do something luckfully a cop drove by and showed that those crown vics have some balls by pushing me in the van up a big ass hill into a parking lot. but there it sits i couldnt figure out what was wrong it cranks fine it just wont fire my dad thinks the fuel pump went, so any idea on what to check would be great all i know is it has gas in the tank was runing fine then just died at a light. i just love how we have had this thing for just under a month and drivin it maybe 600 miles and its dead allready i think the van it self has just under 190,00 tho wich i guess is all i would expect from a FORD,this just shows me how great my camaro is it has 293,000 miles has been in a wreck far from home and still as never once left me walking . now i just hope we can get our tow truck to it befor it gets towed cause of course the parking lot had signs every where saying customer parking only i left a note hopefully some one will show sympathy. with all the shizzle thats gone wrong latly it just shows that the world hates me and i have the worst luck possible . and i get picked up just to get kicked back down i thought my luck was changing cause im geting me a free jeep tomorrow but then this happens i just dont no what kind of a sick game this is i hate my luck  _________________

| BTW, no idea what year/engine your van is, but a couple things to check would be the TFI module (if it's old enough to have one) or the crash fuel kill switch. Both of those will cause the engine to die instantly. |

No, you're confused. English is mandatory in China. Spanish and Ebonics is mandatory in the U.S. You've got to do a better job keeping track of who will rule the world in the near future. |
