Diver this is a longshot but I had something similar happen with my H1 a few years ago, solved by just draining the fuel pump and changing/cleaning
the fuel filter. It may not work but you can do it yourself on the spot. If it doesn't work you are no worse off. Buena suerte, wish I could help.

Diver.
Started thinking after I saw you Sun Morning (white ford truck). Someone should have a code reader in El Rosario. If it is an electrical problem It
should should show as a malfunction code. If so you would be assured of getting the right part.

Sorry to hear that you guys are held up for sure, but I understand its a nice place to get held up at. I have had the same types of troubles in the
US and been stuck even there for a couple of days waiting for parts and dealers to open. We are leaving early Wednesday to spend an extra day in
Loreto at the San Javier mission. It looks like we will have to wait for our reunion until next year right now. That will make it just that much
sweeter. Good luck and love to Pam and the kids. Cheers guys and remember just to take it as it comes as its the best way to deal with stuff.

I'm sorry to read all of this, Diver. When I got home I expected you to be at Asuncion by now. Our intial guess about the problem seemed to have been
inaccurate. There's still the possibility of bad gas though, as you said the problems appeared right after the fillup there. That's just too much of a
coincidence and needs an explanation.
The kids are probably getting restless by now. You have a wonderful family. We enjoyed meeting them very much. I especially enjoyed your impersonation
of barbara that evening ....

Diver seemed to have confidently diagnosed the problem by the time we spoke in-person last night at the Baja Cactus. It was not a question of fuel
quality.
He also shared Nomad-related stories with me - and I appreciate it. His story of assistance in this instance I will leave for him to share with
everyone.
I found his business card on my windshield this morning on our way out (shortly after 6:00 a.m.), stowed it in my backpack and left him mine in
return.
When I arrived in Tijuana today, FDT asked if I had Diver's truck part with me...
...uh-oh...

Quite. I regret the oversight.

As he mentioned, after checking the fuel line, replacing the filters, etc... he was under the hood and - by chance - heard a strange buzzing sound.
When he lifted the cover to the electronics, he found a small "control module" that was buzzing, and found that it was now not properly opening and
closing the circuit as intended (or as I believe it was explained to me). It's something he reviewed - by telephone - with his mechanic back home and
others... whom all believe it to be the issue he's experiencing. A "$10 part" per se.

Waiting for Diver
Diver, I've heard so much about you (and read your posts) that I decided to stay on in Asuncion until you get here. Then it's back to Northern CA.
Looking forward to meeting you!

From the various descriptions, it sounds like a faulty electrical relay. Hope everything gets fixed-up and you get on your way again! Good luck!
How nice to have all those various Nomad's trying to help you out. Social networking at it's best.
