If you have power to the coil but no spark, you need to check the hall sensor in the distributor and the ECU. Bad wiring somewhere may also be a problem. Check all connection carefully.

After blinking for about 20 min. the van shut down and I was able to restart it and drive it home. Now, the van will shut down quite regularly after the engine temp rises to about full operating temp, without the temp light coming on though. The van must sit for several hours before it starts again, then as it heats up it dies. I'm getting fuel. I have power into the coil, but no spark out. I have read a few variations of this behavior in the archives but was not able to derive too much from it. Any suggestions??
Also, I will most likely need a good Vanagon repair shop in the Lakewood area of Colorado. Again, if it's too far out of range (greater than say 10 miles), I'll stall and be stranded! Thanks for any help you can provide!!! Dan Haydon |
