hello all, I just purchased my '91 Vanagon Multivan and obviously just love it. There are however a couple of things that need attending to. First, is this hard to start thing. If I have not driven/started the van for 3-5 days then it very hard to start. I turn the key over and I can hear what I think is the fuel pump and then I turn it further to get the starter going. The starter fires up but the engine won't start. It is almost as though it is not getting fuel. I did have luck one time where I pumped the gas pedal 3 times before starting and it worked fine. The other interesting part is that if the van is warm, ie. on a trip, it starts like magic... it seems to be an issue after it has been sitting for a few days. Anyone had this issue? murgy. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
