<html> <body> Hey <br> My 85 is doing the same thing. Here is a quick fix to get you home if you need it. Tap the fuel pump with a plastic screw driver handle. Rap on it a few times then see if you have pressure. If not have some one turn the ignition on with you under it tapping on the pump. <br> do not start it or turn it over just to hear the pump and tap on it is all you want. Cycle it a few times then try firing it up. <br> I have had to do this a few times and it has started every time. Pain in the kester yes but it does work. I will buy 2. 1 to use and a spare.<br> C-ya Jonce<br><br> <br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I installed a fuel pressure gauge to see if the pump comes on at all, but no fuel pressure. I have spark though. I'm not sure if I have injector action too. I would need to check that, but it's futile until I have the gas going. <br> The question is; what are the things to check in this case? I have looked into the archives but I'm loosing patience with it.<br> This is a 1.9 system with a 2.1 engine. <br> Zoltan</blockquote> <x-sigsep><p></x-sigsep> <font face="Comic Sans MS">Jonce Fancher<br> 56 Single Cab<br> 66 Sunroof Bug<br> 66 Squareback<br> 66 Porsche 912<br> 71 Sunroof Bus<br> 84 Vanagon 7 Passenger 24k Miles<br> 85 Vanagon Westi 2.0L Zetec<br> 03 Sprinter<br> 1 Understanding / Tolerant Wife, 2 Kids and 1 Beagle <br><br> </font><a href="http://www.fanchers.com/" eudora="autourl"> www.fanchers.com<br> </a><a href="http://www.busesbythebeach.com/" eudora="autourl"> www.busesbythebeach.com<br><br> </a></body> </html>
