I have been there with my '84.  Take a look at the connector between the end
of the FI cable and the ECU.  Connectors need to be squeaky clean.  I have
also had same type of problem with bad AFM and bad Hall detector.

Kaput!


My 85 Vanagon has always run like a finely oiled sewing machine, but the
other day it gave me a problem.  While going along at 35 or so, it just
quit, kaput!
It would turn over, but not start - I was in a dangerous location, so I
called for a tow.  Once back home, and after an hour or so, it fired right
up and seems to be running fine again?!  Can anyone offer any suggestions
on where to start?  I'm hesitant on taking it out again for fear of this
happening again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
