I can't remember which one it is in my '87...

Anyway, I have noticed that occasionally there is a slight delay from when I
turn the key till the starter engages.  I've not worried about it before
since, although noticeable, it was only a fraction of a second or so, and I
always assumed it to be something innocuous like the
digi-control-thing-a-ma-bobber doing its thing.

Lately, this slight delay is a complete no start until I turn the ignition
off, back on and wait a full 5 seconds are so.  Not all the time, just
occasionally.  The weather has been hot and humid, and the van has been
sitting for more than a day at a time.

The first things that come to mind: a bad clutch switch (the van will start
without stepping on the clutch (or do they all do that?), a fuel line
problem - is there a fuel pressure issue that the digi-thing responds to?
Something else in the digi-mc-bobber operation?

Enlightenment Welcome oh Gods of the Vanagon world.
