Sudden Death 200 1986

While minding my own business driving down the road, my '86 244 simply stopped running! I have not had it very long and the friend from whom I aquired it mentioned the "less than I am used to" warning when it runs out of fuel but I don't think that is the problem since I put in a couple of gallons and it didn't help. My other Bosch fueled cars always skipped and balked a bit but gave me a few miles to get to some fuel. This fine little car just died as I pulled up to a stop sign on the highway. The fuel pump cutoff module has acted up on my friend before and he simple beat on it. I learned to remove the module on my Saabs and short the pump on to overcome the module's refusal to cooperate . .a more solid method for diagnosis. So, I unplugged this one and found the proper terminals for what I thought was THE fuel pump but now find something about a second pump. Maybe having nothing to do with anything . but the engine didn't sputter, cough or othewise indicate that it was upset about anything . .I just stopped.

Anyone with similar experiences and/or anything to suggest would be appriciated. Thanks, Barrelhouse
