Subject:Larry's up and running...Re: S.O.S. Vanagon stuck 20 miles N of Orlando in Maitland, FL

All,

I just got back from Larry...I don't know why I brought it along, but I
pulled the ECU out of my vanagon...

While I was on my trip over there (~70 miles) Larry called and said he knew
for sure they were getting spark but they weren't getting fuel out of the
injectors...his reasoning thought it would be the ECU...

Long story short, its fixed...ECU did the trick...

Time for some ice cream and then back to bed...whilst comparing engine bays
I noticed my fuel lines (replaced in 2/05 and re-tightened about a month
ago) leaking in the center...ARGH!!!

Tried tightening again, but I am gonna have to scrutinize a bit further
tomorrow AM...

Thanks so much everyone for recommendations and Sam for sending the files
on...

Dave
