Jason, we had 'drop-outs' (0 rpm) during city or highway operation on two vans (87, 88) we owned, in both cases they were leaking antifreeze under the rear seat when I bought them. The warm humid environment corroded some of the pins on the Digifant unit to a point where the plating came off. I keep cleaning and spraying them with 'Deoxit' a compound which I have used on old connectors and switches for years - I use it on all connections in the van - in both cases I had no more drop-outs for years. True 'stalling' (coasting to full stop, re-start engine) was occurring in heavy rain on a regular basis naturally while we were moving and needed to go hundreds of miles and no time to work on the car until the ignition coil shorted and I also changed the spark wire set. Is the wire harness fix truly just a capacitor on the wiper to ground? which value?? good luck, Wolfgang Ziegler 79 convert. 88 GL 00 Jetta At 11:51 AM 9/12/00 -0400, you wrote: >how many people have solved their bucking with the wiring harness? how many >have solved it other ways? |
