___________________________ FIX: ___________________________

Finally got another Vanagon and switched computers.Let
customer drive with it a few days.Said problem gone.Bought
new computer and customer happy.Thanks to everyone who
responded.

____________________ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: _____________________

Customer complains that car bucks under load.Didn't occur
for me so had to have customer take me to the area it
occured,long upgrade. Car had been to dealer who scanned(No
probs)cleaned grounds and added one to air flow meter.Also
tuned with new plug wires.Same thing.Customer disillusioned
with dealer now.I figure if dealer having a hard time,I
probably will too.So I thought I'd use this great tool to
see if someone has seen this problem before with these vans
and save myself some grief before I get into it.Forgot to
mention that heads had been rebuilt by another shop appox.
a year ago.
