Vanagon concerns / 1980 VW Vanagon Will Not Run

« on: July 30, 2011, 02:28:01 PM »

My 1980 vw vanagon would run and run good but sometimes when it was hot it would not start again. The spark coming out of the coil did not look very strong so I purchased a new one. I also changed the points and set them to the proper gap and installed a new condenser. After that I went to start it up and it does not want to run. Now when I try to start it, it fires up and than dies out immediately. I tried a new double relay as well. I think it is either airbox or the computer. I did check my fuel pressure/filter (it was 25 pounds). Help.
