First thought for me is 'the battery clamp is loose'. It gives enough voltage and amp to the pump and the computer, but not enough amp to the starter system.

Been reading here and have learned a lot from you people. Thank you. I have only had my westy for a year. And still have not been able to use it much as I don't know all the quirks that go with it. Today I took the van for a ride and at the stoplight. It just died. Won't even turn over I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key. Any ideas? It's an 84 westy with a 1.9 water boxer any help would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone ----- No virus found in this message.
