Some 1985-87 M vans with TBI engines may experience a stall or no start condition. This condition may be diagnosed as an inoperative intank fuel
pump. Inspection of the intank fuel pump may indicate that it has become dislodged (laying in the bottom of the fuel tank) from the fuel sender. A
dislodged fuel pump condition may be caused by the intank fuel reservoir (plastic), which surrounds the fuel pump, coming loose inside the fuel tank and
dislodging the fuel pump from the fuel sender. The reservoir can be checked by inserting a 24 inch long 3/8 inch drive extension (or similar) into the tank
through the fuel sender opening and pushing (fore and aft) on the reservoir. The reservoir should not move. Do not pry against the fuel sender opening as
this could result in damage to the tank. If this condition is encountered, the fuel tank assembly must be replaced and at the same time, the intank fuel
pump must be repaired or replaced.
