Well she fired up again so I took her for a spin runs better but time to
check other things I'm not sure it is the fuel pump because it flows better
now. I'll check to see if the plugs are fouled. She craps out at a stop and
if I park her she craps out. Time to open some books. I replaced a bad leaky
heater hose and checking all the other hoses too.
