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!
