 Thanks to all who responded to my diesel question (slow starting when hot).
 The Vanagon is back in the shop today to have a new cold start cable
installed
 which was ordered when the rebuilt injector pump was installed.  Injectors
 will be checked, so maybe the problem will be solved.  I'll report the
results
 when I get it back next week.

Hi James, what does the cold start cable have anything to do with a hot start
problem?  As long as you have 400 lbs or more of compression, timing
absolutely correctly set ( advance timing from .88 to .98 ), new or good
injectors and diesel fuel that isn't Texaco ( use Chevron, BP, union 76 etc )
, you shouldn't have any problemos.  Good luck.          Michael Modl. 87
