As he was exiting, the van died. He thought he ran out of gas. He tried a restart, but to no avail. We towed it home. Got some gas and attempted to start it.... the engine cranked and cranked. I checked for fuel at the 'T' connection, it squirted....'checked the plugs... They were wet....checked for spark..NO SPARK!! I swapped the HALL unit, COIL, DISTRIBUTOR with known good units...no spark.....checked wires, rotor, cap....no spark.....checked voltages at coil terminal 15 ...zero with ignition off...8vdc with ignition on.....my other same year Vanagon had 9vdc then jumped up to 13vdc after a couple of seconds. Could this be my problem? PLEASE HELP! Jero >>
