Okay, it's ranting time!

We have a minivan that is held together with spit and a prayer.  One of it's little idiocyncracies is that ever so often the engine will begin to hesitate when you push on the gas pedal and then it dies.  It will eventually start again, but it usually takes several minutes of frustration and cursing.  I discovered one day, when it was doing this, that the radiator was low on water (yeah, yeah, I know.. .it should be antifreeze, not water) and so I filled it up.  Lo and behold, the van stopped stalling.

At that time, I didn't really make the connection.  After some time passed, the van started stalling again.  While checking the fluids (because the stoopid van leaks everything), I filled the radiator and viola, the van stopped stalling.

After several more rounds of this, it began to sink in with me and I told my dh.  Natually, according to him, I didn't know what I was talking about and the radiator had nothing to do with why the van was stalling.  YET... everytime the van began stalling, I would find the radiator low on water and once filled, it stopped stalling.

Now, you tell me... coincidence?  I think not.

But my stubborn, stubborn, stubborn husband would rather not believe me. 

Grrr... so there is my rant for the day!  LOL!

Thanks for listening.
