I have a 91 GL that's in great shape w/low miles (57K). The engine is in excellent shape and runs strong - except at start-up. She'll die immediately unless you hold it at 3K RPMs for about 5 minutes. Then she'll idle fine. When the engine dies, there's a squeaking noise from under the front/center of the van.

What's the likely remedy for this problem - or do all vanagons do this? I've only had my van for a few months.

Thanks in advance Colin Tulsa, OK
