warm engine quiting problem

[calimus@techography.net (calimus)]

Well, we kinda figured it was the main pump as well since it was making a
hell of a racket.  So we took a trip out to our totaled 16v parts mobile and
riped out the main pump, fule accumulator and resivoir.  Got back here to
see most of everyone's replies saying it was the main pump.  Dan replaced
the main pump while I did work to the wifes cabby and it appears that we
found the problem.  Though we won't know for sure untill Dan get into some
warm weather traffic.  Thanks for everyone's replies, they helped to
reassure we were not off our rockers.
