    The P.O. of this vehicle lived in Spokane, WA. If you know that place, it gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. And I'm sure that the VX wasn't garaged all its life, so I'm guessing that all that heat/cold could wear on many systems that aren't normally worn down in temperate climates.

    First, try another gas station.

    First, try another gas station. Look at the nozzle and where the ratchets are for the lock on. Those ratchet "ridges" can be riveted on in a variance of ~1". My favorite gas station has one nozzle that the lock on ridges are riveted on too far forward, requiring a greater squeeze of the handle before the first lock ridge is engaged, and always cuts off when filling the VX. Every other pump/nozzle is fine and can be locked on the first ridge to fill. I hope this is the issue for you; easy issue.

    ??I just re-read your post; your issue isn't with locking on the pump, you clearly have a different issue. Good luck.??
