put a new throttle switch in yesterday, van runs much better, but still dies after about a minute or so when cold. so i did a compression test this afternoon, numbers in firing order (1,4,3,2)130,150,140,140...bently is saying 145 min., which is making me think that the low compression could be the problem. so a few questions as this is the first vehicle i have ever paid attention to, and paid i have, although i find the edumacation worth the cost... could the valves need adjusting, or cause this low compression? i guess that is the question right now, is there a way i can fix this without a rebuild? i think not, but would like to hear the opinion of the list members who might have gone through this before. thanks ===== Scott Wilson 85 GL Westfalia __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
