Subject:No Start: Fuel Pump?
From:Michael A. Radtke

Hello,

My Vanagon starts easily even though it often sits for weeks.  Today,
after not being driven for 3 weeks it does not start.  It cranks well
but does not fire at all.  The fuel pump runs for a bit when the key
is turned.  Which brings up a question for my first phase of diagnosis.

I recall the fuel pump running for 2 or 3 seconds when the key is
turned.  Today, the fuel pump runs for about a second then shuts off
and then runs a second time for another second.  I don't remember it
doing that before.  Is that a clue?  If so, for what?

Thanks,
Mike
