Subject:      '91 Vanagon Multivan - hard to start
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

hello all, I just purchased my '91 Vanagon Multivan and obviously just love
it.  There are however a couple of things that need attending to.  First, is
this hard to start thing.  If I have not driven/started the van for 3-5 days
then it very hard to start.  I turn the key over and I can hear what I think
is the fuel pump and then I turn it further to get the starter going.  The
starter fires up but the engine won't start.  It is almost as though it is
not getting fuel.  I did have luck one time where I pumped the gas pedal 3
times before starting and it worked fine.  The other interesting part is
that if the van is warm, ie. on a trip, it starts like magic... it seems to
be an issue after it has been sitting for a few days.  Anyone had this
issue?

murgy.
