I am not sure if this help but you may want to try. Similar situation
happened to me on a long trip... stop for gas and the engine didn't start,
it cranked strong. Pish the van on the side and called a mechanic.. he
can't come till next day because he's busy.
So I went to the engine bay and check all the connections. Finally found
this:
- on the black box that sits on top of the coil, there's one large wire
loom and one small one
- disconnect the small one, clean the connector and reconnect.
try it.
