Hi all !
I have a slight problem that has occured every now and then almost since I bought the Vanagon !
It has a Digifant FI, and I�m not a big fan of FI systems unless they work properly but laws and regulations won�t let me put a carb. on the Van, so I guess there is no turning back, I have to start to learn to work on it even though I�m not too sure that the problem is right there this time ;)
Anyway   
When the weather gets wet, foggy, cold or in any other way unpleasant to be working on your car , the liittle green monster sometimes refuses to start :(
The starter engine is working OK , the smell of gas is standing all over the neigbourhood but no spark !
And as I stated above, it�s been going on the whole time, I changed plugs, cables and cap right after I bought it, then  TII sensor, airfilter , sprayed every connection I could find with wd40, checked the groundings and so on...
Am I overlooking anything ?
There has been a lot of discussions lately about coils, are these weak and likely to stop working ?? 
Or could it be the AFM or idlestabilizer that�s malfunctioning ??
I�ll be at it as soon as possible, with yet another portion of electronics spray and maybe plugs and wires again but if any of you has a great idea, even if not the whole solution, it would be appreciated  

Cheers 
Calle
