Hello! I use the ocsiloscope all the time to test ignition
systems and to look at the pattern on the screen. I have
only looked at two vanagon patterns and the were both
different than any other car I've seen. I'm begining to
think that this might be a vanagon only problem. Maybe some
of you VW guys have run in to this alot. my firing lines
are close to 20KV and they are very erradic.Spark lines
don't look good eather. I don't really have an idling nor
preformance problem, but gas mileage is said to be very
poor. Has anyone seen goofy scope patterns on Vanagons?
