Tonight, at a major intersection of two county roads with no lighting,
traffic flying from every direction, my 88 GL engine stalled out, for
reasons unknown at this point. It was running very nicely. Upon trying to
restart, the starter engaged, locked itself into runaway mode. It kept
turning as soon as I pushed in the clutch. Let ot the clutch and the van
tried to lurch forward. It barely made forward progress because of the
incline it was on. There was an acrid smell thst came I'm sure from over
heated insulation. Finally the starter stopped turning, but Iwas kn the
middle of the road, blocking traffic, at night.

Long story short - this is the second starter in the last year or so to do
this. What gives. What might I look for?
