Subject:85 vanvagon 1.9 electrical prob
From:David Rack

So this is my first post...I have a 85 vanagon GL 1.9
and lately it has been dying on me.  Example...I go to
the store and when I come out it does not start, it
will turn over, but it will not fire, there is no
spark coming from the spark plug wire, it has also
done this to me when I am driving down the road.  One
time this happened I had my girlfriend try to start it
so I could see if the spark plug wire was sparking, it
was not... I left the car and came back to tow it 3
hours later, it started then and I was able to drive
it back home..???  I took it to a mechanic and he
wasn't sure, but told me that it was probably the
computer or electrical thinga-ma-ding.  I was
wondering if it could be the points(does it have
points), or the coil, or a fuse, or what?  any help
would be great..thanks
