The wife took the 97 venture in town today and it ran fine. She parked in the drive and went to follow me somewhere and now it tries to turn over but won't stay running. The fuel guage read over 1/4 but I added more fuel. Nothing. I listened for the fuel pump and it hums. I checked for a loose ground around the fuel tank and found none. I checked the fuses, nothing. I tried to prime it via air compressor and rags around the nozzle opening (since I don't have a priming port installed) and still nothing. I'm loading the shotgun as I type.............:banghead::banghead:

Got spark at the plugs, cleaned out connectors (they did have some water in them), replaced fuel pump, replaced relay switch, still nothing. It will run with starter fluid but can't convince the wife to sit under the hood with a bunch of cans so I can go into town.....
