<< I have a 1985 Vanagon L.  My dad was driving it one day, going up a fairly
steep incline highway.  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!
