Like Dennis said, "Vanagon syndrom" and its cures have nothing to do with
this.
  You need a remote starter switch to trouble shoot this by yourself.  Two
pieces of wire with a push button switch to connect them when pressed.
 Medium large alligator clips on the other ends, preferably with insulating
sleeves.  Reach forward under the firewall to connect one to the starter at
the spade terminal and connect the other to the large terminal on the
alternator to get +12v.
  Up front, put it in neutral and turn the ignition to "on".  In the engine
compartment prepare to check for spark by your preferred method.  Press
button.
   It may also be a good idea to listen for injector clicking, using a
stethoscope or stick or something.

I suppose the usual suspects would include the Hall sender, the coil, and
the ECU.

Good luck,
Larry A.
