08 dies at 8000'

[Block Head 96]

I was climbing up in altitude toward the summit of the local Volcano, cruising between 20-25 mph in second gear about 2500 RPM, speed limit in park in that area is 25 MPH. Outside temp, maybe 72*, so the weather was nice. I come around a turn to go into the next turn, she acts like she ran out of gas, sputtered, farted and died! I had at least 1/4 tank of fuel and I did not hit the Run/Off switch. No CEL, no nothing. Odd thing is, when I press the Run switch in the run position, the fuel pump would run. Only did that a few times then stopped. Let it set a couple minutes, she fired right off. Odddddd!

Any ideas as to what's up?? I don't know how to check for codes.

Here's how you check for codes. It's all in the self help forum, take a cruise through there sometime with the link below this post.

The fuel pump will only pressure up if the pressure in the fuel system is low. Being you were going uphill, there's a possibility of some water in the tank. Try running some dry gas in the tank.
