    1986 Astro Van died on highway
    I filled my 1986 Astro Van up with gas, drove for about two hours when it just died. I pulled over to the side of the highway, tried restarting it and nothing. I had a person try and boost it, nothing, was told maybe vapor lock, so I open the gas tank, still nothing. Fuel pump is working. So what could cause the van to just stop running? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    If its l986 it doesn't owe anyone a thing so give it a decent burial.

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

    . Ensure battery is fully charged.
    . Check for spark.
    . Check the Ignition Control Module--AutoZone will do this for free. Here's what it looks like and costs:

    . Check the coil--AutoZone will also do this for free.
    . Check for fuel.
    . Check computer.

    My bet is that the Ignition Control Module is bad.
