Subject:83.5 won't start - Help!
From:Sharon & Miguel Calvin

Volks,

My 83.5 1.9l liquid cooled Westy won't start.  Tank is half full, gasline
antifreeze used at last fill up, air and fuel filters were replaced in
august, afm removed and tested yesterday - max resistance was 2400ohms at
about 1/3 of travel.  The van ran fine earlier today except for some
cutting-out/ hesitation.  The hesitation has been happening alot for the
last few days and only once in a while before that.  Then just now I went
out to get some parts and she won't start.  Electronic ignition an fuel
injection are both new to me but I do have a good grasp of the concepts.
Please point me in the right direction if you can.

TIA
