Is your starter switch going bad perhaps? Sometimes a heavy keyring will wear the ignition switch and cause problems of this nature.

However, I immediately turned the key to off and tried again and the van started right up without any hesitation. This hasn't happened consistently, which is why I'm not sure if it's happened more than twice in the past week. When I started the van later, the issue didn't present itself. I've never seen it happen before this week, which is why I am concerned. Does this symptom sound familiar to anyone? Is it a sign of a failing starter? Computer? Something else? Thanks for your input. Jarrett 89 Camper GL - Oly
