A friend's 1988 Vanagon died while driving down the freeway, just quit.
He had it towed home, and today he and I took a look at it. We disconnected
the fuel line at the engine and the fuel pump is working, and it's getting
spark. We changed the distributor cap and rotor just because they looked a
little suspect.

   It doesn't even act like it wants to try to start. Turns over but doesn't
pop or do anything approaching wanting to start.

Any suggestions of where to look?

Thanks, Leo
