Hi Folks,
Back on the list after a couple year break. Anyway I'm having a strange
no start issue on my 87 westy with a 1990 subie 2.2.   I think the
problem is vw and not the subie but I'm stumped so thought someone here
might have an idea.  It started off a couple months ago like the starter
was going so I replaced it with one of the gowesty gear reduction
starters as I have already put a couple starters in this van.  Then a
couple weeks later it would not start - I could here the fuel pump
engage but no starter so  I replaced the ignition switch as I know that
is a common item and it was fairly inexpensive.  Now today I was out
running around and after it had been shut off for a couple hours it
would not start.  So I hop out check the engine ground and battery
cables all looked fine,  so I just fiddled with the key for a while on
off type of thing and then boom it starts right up and now is fine
again.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Kevin
