Dieter, Kann wohl sein daß der Oxygensensor kaputt ist. Versuch mal den Oxygensensor (O2 sensor) beim Stecker abzutrennen. Manchmal hilft das. Dann weist du wenigstens ob der O2 sensor kaputt ist. Der O2 sensor ist links unten beim Auspuff. Der Stecker für den O2 sensor ist links im Motorraum. Wenn der O2 sensor getrennt ist, und der Motor besser läuft, ist der sensor kaputt. Harald Short Translation: (so you all know) I told Dieter to try and disconnect the O2 sensor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dieter Knittel" <dieterknittel@AOL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2001 7:27 PM Subject: Re: 1986GL update
