Hey All, Well, SuperVan has always fired up *instantly* since the rebuild, until this year. I has to crank it and crank it, and eventually she would catch. I figured the fuel pump relay was weak or something, not really worried about it. Last weekend, she died at a stop sign - I was stunned as she always runs flawlessly. After a couple dozen tries, she finally fired and ran perfectly. Visited my parents. As I was leaving, she died again, though this time it would not catch. To make a long story short, after spending a couple hours checking ignition issues, it turn out the ignition switch is bad - after a quick monkey-rig, all is well again (though I suppose I should still replace the switch someday...). Hope this can help someone. ...JMM Justin M. Mayrand 1980 Westy "SuperVan" -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
