hello,
the web came to the rescue as I pondered giving up my 88 wolfsburg gl
vanagon.  it has been a fantastic vehicle - until - about 2 months ago.
Started dying on me unexpectedly.  Would start back up again but has
progressively gotten worse.  Finally, wouldn't start at all.  Took to
local mechanic (imports - some knowledge of vanagons - not a lot of
people aware of them out here in midwest) and after several hundred
dollars still can't precisely locate the problem.  help.
Obviously electrical but I need to find person or troubleshooting guide
to narrow down possibilities.  Mechanic thinks it's the computer
(decides once ina while not send signal to relays after receiving it
from flow meter.  therefore, intermittent fuel pump activity (w/new
pump).  still can't figure out why the tach needle and buzzing sounds
when ignition is only in the on position and van hasn't been started.
dosen't happen every time but am starting top think 'ol blue' is
possessed!

please refer me or if possible, help me sort this thing out before I
give 'er up.
thanks
