1980 VW Vanagon Westy not getting fuel<br>
Photos of engine compartment <a
 href="http://www.zzyzx.org/1980_Vanagon_Kingman/index.htm">here</a>.<br>
<br>
Problem is engine starts fine if primed then quits once primer fuel is
exhausted. It will not start without being primed.<br>
It seems the fuel injection system is not functioning properly.<br>
I've checked grounds and plugs for sure fit.<br>
Bentley outlines several tests which I've completed the following one
failed.<br>
<br>
<u>Bentley 1980-1983</u> pg. 24.6 suggests testing voltage supply at
injector
plug by quote<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. remove connector from injector.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. connect test light on connector plug.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. operate starter, test light must flicker.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "If NO, refer to AFC Troubleshooting Guide (pg 7) catalog no. US
42-00-5955-1"<br>
<br>
This test failed to produce a flickering of test light.<br>
The fuel pump is delivering fuel to the ring. It seems the computer is
not signaling to the injectors properly<br>
A google search of "US 42-00-5955-1" failed to yield useful results.<br>
<br>
Any ideas as to what component could have failed or where to find <u>AFC
Troubleshooting Guide (pg 7) catalog no. US 42-00-5955-1</u><br>
<br>
Any guidance is appreciated<br>
<br>
