Hello, had a problem similar to this. The van would be running fine and then just die as soon as I decelerated dramatically. Happened on a exit ramp several times. Here is a website describing the problem. VW sells a wiring harnes that attaches to the air flow meter to fix it. However, it is aroung $150.00. The website has a more homemade fix. http://www.geocities.com/harald_nancy/intermitt._syndrome.htm Michael Blackburn

Hey all--- Mike gave me a call last night and said that all was much better, and asked me to say thanks to several of the member's suggestions,and help--- the Van has made it to PA. ( with Mike in it ) He is still having idling problems---sometimes it idles, sometimes it doesn't--- He did have a vacuum leak at the idle stabilizer--but the problem persists occasionally--- He'll be in the Pittsburgh area for two days, and if any of you in that area have any idea's or fixes for him--- get in touch with him on his cell phone--- 916-747-1255. Later, ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ~~~ ~||-(())----(())-| Terry-- "Zoom, Zoom, Zoom" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
