Hi all, 85 Westfalia GL, auto, 5k km on my pretty new Boston Bob 2.1. When hot, needs to crank for a few seconds before firing. It helps if I let the fuel pump fully cycle before hitting the ignition. Also my coolant light has a mind of its own, often flashing for a minute or so upon startup. Poorer mileage than my 1.9 that i wasn't really expecting. Last but not least the exhaust smells a bit gassy ... Reading the archives suggests maybe a temp II sensor or 02 sensor? Any advice is appreciated so i can discuss with my mechanic (who lets me bring my own parts - he's fantastic) without sounding like the capital A Amateur that I am. Thanks Jeff in Winnipeg (summer has finally arrived!)
