Subject:      VIN - where car sold & Fuel Injection help

I'm confused as to what sort of Fuel Injection setup my engine has. Am having a
problem with a fast idle and in attempting to correct it I have uncovered a
plethora of questions. I've got a 1985 Westy with a built date of 11/84 on the
door jamb sticker. However, inside the engine compartment things get confusing.
My power steering unit has a electrical sensor hook-up to a non-spliced wiring
harness. Bently says that is for 1986+ vehicles with a vin of
_______24_G_055__689_______. Bently manual says it covers ______24_A___________
and on. Well, my VIN number is _____25_F_______. So, does this mean my camper
was made for Euro or SA or otherwhere?. Other anomalities: Idle stabilizer is
Black unit for pre-85. But, throttle body has NO, repeat NO, allowance for a
max throttle or idle position switch - it is devoid of all mounting hardware
for said and there are no extra wires hanging loose from wiring harness. Plus,
CO2 sensor is single lead, not coax, again indicating 1985 and earlier. Can any
Vanagon experts shed some light on what I have? Is Bently wrong in their
____24_A(and other alpha)______ designation or do I have a non-US/Canada
vehicle?
