Lisa,
The buzz you hear is your fuel pump turning on and
pressurizing the FI system. I'd check the fuel pump =
relays.

Can anyone help me?!?!
I have and 83' =
Volkswagen Vanagon. My problem is that it will die at random while =
driving
down the road. When it does, it won't start for several minutes. =
Sometimes
it won't start when it has been parked for a while either. I'll walk =
you
through the behavior: It has a fuel injection system. When you turn =
the key,
you generally hear a noise twice of the fuel injection turning on. =
This is a
good sign because the van will start and run after this. Sometimes =
you will
only hear the noise once, or maybe not at all, in this case you are =
not
going anywhere. I have often had to wait 3 to five minutes inbetween =
attempts to get it started. When I am just a moments away from tears =
and or
tantrums the bitch starts. I have tried putting the gasoline =
additive in to
clean things out, but this has not solved the problem. I am thinking =
that it
is something electrical; that some how the power to the fuel =
injection is
shorting out somewhere. I have taken it into a mechanic to have it =
checked
out and fixed, but since it did not die while he was driving it or =
refuse to
start for him, he said he couldn't find anything wrong with it. I =
had
explained all the symptoms to him as I have listed above, but he had =
not
clue what was wrong. I really want to be able to go into the next =
mechanic
with some kind of info as to what it might be. If you have any idea =
please
let me know. I can be reached at
=
lizulfisa@hotmail.com.
Thankyou!
