<P>Go to vanagon.com and do an archive search for "hesitation". Tons of info and test procedures. 2 possibilities that stuck out. 02 sensor and ECU. When it stumbles next time, unpluge the 02 sensor. I would also start with that if your "shooting from the hip". It's cheap!</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Know I've seen this problem visited on here but don't have firm
<DIV></DIV>>memory of
<DIV></DIV>>the solution...or actually what the problem is...help please:
<DIV></DIV>>On my way to work today, about 10 minutes after starting my precious
<DIV></DIV>>beast,
<DIV></DIV>>I was accelerating onto the freeway and had very little
<DIV></DIV>>accelleration at
<DIV></DIV>>first, then when holding the accelerator down, it began to slow
<DIV></DIV>>gradually.
<DIV></DIV>>(On my way to the freeway on surface streets, no problem.) I pulled
<DIV></DIV>>to the
<DIV></DIV>>right side of the roadway and shifted down into "2" (automatic) and
<DIV></DIV>>same
<DIV></DIV>>results. When I would pump the pedal quickly it would accelerate
<DIV></DIV>>slightly
<DIV></DIV>>while sputtering and bucking. When I held the pedal still it would
<DIV></DIV>>only
<DIV></DIV>>slowly decellerate. and finally smoothed out and I could proceed as
<DIV></DIV>>normal.
<DIV></DIV>>Question: is this the idle/air mixture device behind the right rear
<DIV></DIV>>tailight?
<DIV></DIV>>Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
