I was on a field trip with my 86 Ford bus. It was winter and I needed to pick them up in 10 minutes. I walked back to check the bus and when I got back up front I reached down and hit the ignition. It started but hesitated so I took my foot and pumped the pedal. It died and then I couldn't get it to start right. It would only idle.
