Subject:91 vanagon not starting
From:Ken Wyatt
Date:Sun, 4 Jun 2000 08:37:12 -0700

Hey, this is Sharon Falvey visiting Ken Wyatt. My 91 westfalia is having
selective intermittent starting problems.  The silver streak(her newly
acquired name-named for the gray hairs she adds to my head)starts most
of the time but occasionally will not start.  This failure to start does
not appear to have any similar driving activity associated with it.  The
van did have an alarm system installed that was non functional had that
completely removed yesterday.  She continues to start now but, I am
unsure if this fixed the problem. Has anyone had a similar problem ?
Suggestions for elements to check - I will look at starter connections
today. Oh, the other thing is the problem happened after replacing hoses
on the tank. Something could be related there.
Thanks in advance..
