Check that you are getting power to the coil. You could have a bad
switch or the connectors on the fuse box could be burned and corroded.
Even though the ignition is not fused, the power goes from the switch,
and into and out of the fuse box before going to the back of the van.
I've seen these connections fail on a number of Vanagons. They can cause
all sorts of intermittent running problems. Run a jumper between the two
wires.

Subject: cranky but no starty

Several days ago the ol' girl was running fine, but today nada!

Got a full tank of fuel, good battery, cranks well, all fuses check ok,
everything works *except* the fuel pump (isn't pumping up for the first
few
seconds after turning on the ignition), ignition (no spark), and the
idle
stabilizer valve (not vibrating).  I swapped the 2 relays in the black
box
above the coil, still nothing.  What could possibly affect those three
items???
