Mark, I am dealing with EXACTLY the same issue. If you read over all my postings on this subject over the past few weeks you'll see where I've been with this. At the moment I am now using a used D unit also and experiencing EXACTLY the same symptoms as you are. I was speaking to Boston Bob about this last week and he thinks there could be a vacuum leak somewhere. I have had no time to investigate this since then so don't have a clue as to the validity of his thoughts. My next plan is to find a properly running Vanagon and swap in all the different idle stabiliser control units I have and make notes of how each one reacts at cold start-up, a lengthy experiment as the engine must be stone cold at each start up to get any proper diagnosis. I will then try the idle stabiliser control from the properly running Vanagon into mine and see what happens. Maybe we're barking up the wrong tree.
