Stan, If you have an aircooled Vanagon, have a look at your Cold Start Valve (5th injector). Just last week mine had same symptoms as yours. (over night temp ~ 32 degrees). This happened for a number of mornings. Turned out the plug at the Cold Start Valve had come off. Plugged it back in and she started up right away. A non-functioning Cold Start Valve would behave the same as well. If you have a waterboxer, ignore above.

When the van is warm, it starts and runs great-perfectly normal!! In the morning, when it is cold, it cranks but wont start. Not even a hint of getting close to starting. I have taken it to the local mechanic here in Sedona twice. It is currently in their lot. They are lost as to what to do next. Good Spark, new fuel filter, fuel pump is good. Runs great all day, wont start in the morning. I don't think they have checked the Temp ll sensor-I will check with them again this morning. Does it sound like it could be a temp ll sensor issue? Can I check the resistance of the sensor when it is cold-I am guessing it will be high if it is not functioning?? stan
