Hi again,
Any help out there for a starting problem for my 85 Vanagon.
Symptoms: difficult to start/ eventually engine "died" while running at about 90kph/55 mph.
Good spark/flooding out
Spark plugs fouled
Changed plugs
Started but seems to run rich
Will not restart after turning off UNLESS the fuel pump is disconnected (electrically). Then engine starts immediately;
Will continue to run when fuel pump is re-connected.
Fuel Pressure Regulator is new.
Ideas?

Thanks, Leo
