Howdy folks ! Wrote ya a week ago 'bout my Vanagon that didnīt start but filled the neighbourhood with gas fumes :P I was a bit concerned with the coil but it turned out to be the ignition wires ! I checked and found spark to the right but not the left side of the engine (!) bought a set of new original wires instead of the aftermarket high quality NON HEATSHIELD wires that had probably burned up inside and now itīs running like a champ again :-) Well, thatīs apart from the "as soon as it starts to be hot hiccups" but Iīm gonna clean the AFM and check the idle speed gizmo and then I hope that those minor faults will be cured ;-) Many thanks for all them good suggestions ! Now itīs beer and bed time here in Sweden Cheers Calle -88 Vanagon Mullhyttan, Sweden |
