        Have You tried to see if Your Van will start Today ~ Here's why I ask >

        I have, in My 37Yrs of Owning & Wrenching on Vanagons, seen this symptom occur

on almost if not all the many Vanagons I have become familiar with ~ It Is a manifestation

of what I choose to put the label Vanagon Syndrome on as I have seen it happen to All Yrs

of Vanagons, or @Least all Yrs of H2OBoxers (that which most refer to as Vanagon Syn' is,

I believe, unique to Digifant & so I label that Digifant Syn') ~ In almost all occurrences of it

the Van mysteriously never stays dead but will start again & run fine sometimes in minutes

& sometimes in days & it then will reoccur sometimes in minutes & sometimes in days or in

some instances weeks or months ~ 

        If Yours stays dead, take it as a blessing, as You will @ some point be able to definitely

Find & then Know the Cause ~ Good Luck ~

                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB
