Twice now my BJ70 has stalled out while idling, long after the engine is warm, and after stopping the engine and re-starting it (ie. grocery store).

I checked everything out, then noticed a high pitched whine coming from the pump area after shutting down. It was incredibly faint, so I held my breath and started jiggling things...turns out air was getting sucked past the hose clamp that I just installed on the new hose as it fits to the inlet of the pump. I guess after shutting down, it was sucking in a belly full of air from the remaining vacuum in the pump, then when I started it back up, it stumbled/shuddered until puking the air down the return line or through the injectors.

Tightened everything up, seems OK now.
