Hi List,

I apologize in advance for bringing up a topic that has been covered fully
in the archives, but I don't know what the hell is going on.

Last Monday, my Vanagon just wound down and quit while I was driving.  I
changed the two fuel filters (square and round plastic ones) and it still
wouldn't start.  I cleaned up the hall sender, it's broken away from the
distributor, and taped it back up (advice from the archives.)  It started
and ran flawlessly until Saturday.  I drove it about two miles, parked, then
ten minutes later, no start.  The starter turns the motor over but nothing
else happens.  Tach doesn't jump, nothing.  It sounds like it's not even
getting compression.

I cleaned all the electrical connections in the engine bay.  The fuel pump
buzzes, but I looked at it while my wife turned it over--I have a clear
filter on the engine side of the pump, and no fuel is moving through it.
Could it be a clogged fuel line, or is the pump just not pumping hard
enough?   I just don't know.

Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated.

thanks,
Joe T.
