Check the temp 2 sensor and the connections.

Subject: weird flooding engine (very weird)

okay guys...

Ususally my vanagon starts the first time.  USUALLY.
But if it doesn't (i.e. if it fails even once) then the engine is
flooded,
and I need to either wait 30 minutes or start it with the pedal pushed
all
the way down (which is what I do).  this is okay, if kind of a pain in
the
butt.  But is it indicative of some bigger problems?  The engine (175k+
and no rebuild) is running great!

Thanks for any tips,
wes

By the way... thanks to all who replied about my flashing coolant sensor
light---it went away by itself, so if it comes back, I'll try all those
suggestions!
