Does the coil have power?  If it doesn't have over 12 volts, try running a
wire from the alternator as a test ( if that has over 12 volts).

Have you checked grounds?  Most of the time when you have a strange issue
with a Vanagon it is a ground issue.

I usually go through the checks with a multi meter at the ECU plug that are
outlined in the Bentley Manual.  Most of the time that finds it.
