Hi Robert, I don't want to sound stupid, but what the heck, did you try a new fuel filter? Don't know what kind of distributor you have, if it has the built-in Hall sender, like the later model wasserboxers have. But I thought usually they just work or die completely. It could be the little wiring elbow/harness on the distributor. It sounds too violent to be the "vanagon syndrome". Does it also backfire when it lurches? The most likely cause I would think is a defect in the wiring harness. Maybe a bad or corroded splice somewhere or an internal tear in a wire. Keep us posted. Harald '90 westy
