Hi all ! I have a slight problem that has occured every now and then almost since I bought the Vanagon ! It has a Digifant FI, and I´m not a big fan of FI systems unless they work properly but laws and regulations won´t let me put a carb. on the Van, so I guess there is no turning back, I have to start to learn to work on it even though I´m not too sure that the problem is right there this time ;) Anyway When the weather gets wet, foggy, cold or in any other way unpleasant to be working on your car , the liittle green monster sometimes refuses to start :( The starter engine is working OK , the smell of gas is standing all over the neigbourhood but no spark ! And as I stated above, it´s been going on the whole time, I changed plugs, cables and cap right after I bought it, then TII sensor, airfilter , sprayed every connection I could find with wd40, checked the groundings and so on... Am I overlooking anything ? There has been a lot of discussions lately about coils, are these weak and likely to stop working ?? Or could it be the AFM or idlestabilizer that´s malfunctioning ?? I´ll be at it as soon as possible, with yet another portion of electronics spray and maybe plugs and wires again but if any of you has a great idea, even if not the whole solution, it would be appreciated

Cheers Calle -88 Vanagon Mullhyttan, Sweden
