Would like to share a problem that happen to me, so It doesn't happen to
you.I  have a 1983 water cooled Vanagon that I bought new.A few days ago
after getting it out of the shop for brake and wheel bearing problems,
I   was driving in rush hour traffic and the Van just quit and there was
smoke coming from the engine.  The Van was on fire, after putting the
fire out with my new shirt.I   saw that the wiring harness to the fuel
injectors was burned up.  After closer inspection I found out why.  The
coil wire was fused to the wiring harness.  So bottom line wrap the coil
wire several times with electrical tape where it touches the fuel
injector wiring harness.
