Thanks everyone for all the input.� I checked my grounds and everything looks good.� As far as the ignition switch goes, it will turn over, but it just won't fire up for a few minutes after it stalls.� Also, my wife noticed that it was blowing out smoke as I was trying to start it.� It doesn't smoke at all when it runs.� The funny thing is that it only does this while idling, never with my foot on the gas or in gear.� The same goes for the flashing temp light..only at idle and usually after idling for a few minutes. --- On Mon, 6/22/09, Stephen Cebula <sfcebula@YAHOO.COM> wrote: From: Stephen Cebula <sfcebula@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Electrical Anomalies To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Monday, June 22, 2009, 6:27 PM My dash warning lights are acting strange.� The Alt and OX light come on sporadically for no apparent reason.
