-------------------------- Hi Tom, After thinking about this for a bit I like your coil suggestion. This is one of those that could be much easier to find with a scope hooked up to it. Like it about 10 seconds say there is your problem, or at least the ignition could be eliminated as suspect. This must be a California van as Eric mentions a wot switch, don't think these are on nationals. This is one of those problems that is probably either electrical or mechanical. (old ibm service phrase)
