Re: sudden car death (deader than ever!)

My first 84 GLI died when I caught some air over a bad set of railroad
tracks at the bottom of a hill.

5 minutes of diagnosing resulted in my discovering that the fuel pump was
at fault.  I ended up replacing the fuel pump on the curbside (those were
the days when I lived in an appartment and a good chunk of my high
turnover spares inventory was in the trunk of the Jetta, along with all of
my tools.)

I haven't been following this thread that closely, so I don't know checks
for fuel pump pressure (or even noise) have been made.
