<P>I need your help here&nbsp; with this puzzler. I have had the syncro for almost a year now. In great shape, never any problems. I drive to school today 17 miles, fill up at a gas station,&nbsp;then to college 20 miles, then home 20 miles, interstate&nbsp;about 65 mph,&nbsp;then jogging at a park 3 miles away. After about 45 minutes I come back to the van and it won't start. Turns over okay, but no firing. I pump the pedal, don't smell gas either. Of course, hatch won't open because the electric locks acts up again.I try to start the van about 15 times.&nbsp;It's getting dark,&nbsp;and I don't have my cellphone&nbsp;with me, nor AAA cards etc. It is pretty remote, no pay phone, no rangers either. Before walking all the way home, I decide to crank her&nbsp;one more time. And she starts. What&nbsp;was be the problem??</P>
<P>I have learned one lesson: always carry cell phone and AAA. Because the one time you leave it at home you need it the most.&nbsp;<BR><BR><BR>Hermann de Boer </P>
