Subject:Update, My vanagon won't start
From:Alan S Gondry

My van will still not start.  I have tried testing the temp switch which
read 2550 at 65 degrees.  I have adjusted the distributor as well as
replaced the cap and rotor.  One thing that seems odd is that the coil
test spark to ground is very week.  I have taken various voltage readings
and find the voltage is less than 5 volts more like 2 volts or less.

I was wondering what color wire feeds the voltage to the coil?  What
should the reading be?  What could cause this low volt fault?
