I'm still dealing with this failure to start issue, even though engine turns well. When I tested power on the Hall sender - it was good. When I tested ignition control and the coil - both appeared good. Yet still it has times when it fails to start after a shutdown. I have noticed a couple of times that there was an after fire or two or three. Don't think it was a back fire - that would have been back up through the intake system. But in any case - it would not start. But the after fire makes me suspicious of a temp II problem. Anyone care to weigh in on this? I'm down to the point of starting to replace parts without knowing which part is actually at fault. That gets expensive. One last thing - is the Vanagon temp II sensor a common sensor part to other VW's. Thanks, John |
