Subject:Looking for help with California AC Vanagon
From:Ken Wilford

I wondered if someone could help me with a problem I have been having.
I have a customer with an 81 AC Vanagon that is California emissions.
About a year ago I sent him a good used ECU that I had and he said it
fixed his problem.  However now the problem is back (no spark and no
start).  He sent me his old ECU back as a core so I sent it out to be
repaired.  The repair guys have looked it all over and thought they
found a problem with one part on the board, however now they are
thinking that it is not faulty.  In other words this ECU is fine.  That
would mean that the problem is elsewhere and we are spinning our wheels
with this ECU being the source of the problem.  My biggest problem is
that I don't have a California Emissions AC Vanagon to pop this ECU into
and see if it is going to work properly or not.  Is there someone out
there that has one of these and I could send this ECU to you and just
have to plug it in and see if the van runs fine or not?  Any help you
can give would be appreciated.  You can respond off list.
