Hi everyone,

I had a little starting trouble today in my 84 Westy today. After
driving 3 miles, stopping to have lunch, I tried to start it after
lunch and the van would crank strong and it was trying to fire but
wouldn't start. I kept trying every minute or so. After 10 minutes the
van finally started and ran strong after that with no hesitations or
stumbling.

The only other problems are when I start the van cold and on the first
couple of starts from a stop the van will hesitate with normal
throttle depression. Within a second or two it will catch up and take
off down the road. This doesn't happen all the time.

Between these two problems there doesn't seem to be any predictable
patterns for the cause of the problems. A couple people recommended
this sounds like a mass air flow meter problem. Anyone have
experiences with these types of problems? Any pointers on how to
diagnose and/or reasoning.

Thanks!
