When mine did this I replaced the fuel pump relay and it has not done it since. Flat rectangular black box at the left of the engine compartment, rightmost relay on the inside. I also bought a new ignition switch at the same time in case the relay did not fix it, and I have not used the new switch yet. Also, I did not do any further troubleshooting at the time so I did not find out where the voltage was or was not (at the relay, at the pump, etc.). Good luck!

To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Saturday, June 12, 2010, 11:28 PM Tried starting my alternate '88 GL today. Starter turned the engine strong, but no start. Then I took time ot listent for the pump, before turning the ignition to "start" - no sound. Removed the little screw in the "T" in the fuel lines where they split to go to each cylinder bank - Turned the ignition to "on". No pump sound, no fuel at the "T". It was working fine when I parked it last, and never gave any indications of any kind of problem. Possibilities - dead pump, other???
