Only had one problem.   It just took a long time to  solve. Two years ago my
85 westy wouldn't start.  Had to push  start it for a week while in Mexico.
Ran into Keith at Guadalupe hot  springs.  He was a great help, but no
solution.  Problem mysteriously  disappeared after cooling fan fuse blew and engine
overheated.  Over the  past two years same non-starting problem occurred every
few months for a day or  two.   Usually at times when it was most difficult to
push  start. Then the van would start right up again, no problems for  months.
Just last month, I think, we've finally solved the problem.   It was the AFM
not working consistently.  Keith, thought you might like to  know that the
problem is finally solved, for now.

85 westy - starting all the time, for now.
