I have a 81 Vanagon, 2L, FI, Cal. model with good compression, but it just
starts for a few short seconds and then dies.  I have NOT yet 
checked the timing, etc.  It appears to get backfire through the
intake.  Since we pulled the engine, a friend says I should remove
the heads to check for burnt valves just in case.  Ideas anyone?
