Hi all, Sorry for the previous post - I was not quite through qevetching Here it goes. A few weeks ago I posted a request for help with MY vanagon syndrome. Gasping for air and guzzling gas without any power! I'm at the end of replacing stuff on this engine. I have replaced the Temp II sensor (first culprit). Swapped the Temp I and AFM (second guess) . New air filter - all clean and dry. Checked the O2 sensor - All Ok per digitool. Catalytic converter is empty so no blockage. Finally I swapped out the Idle Stabilizer valve. < This really solved the problem, sort of... The van runs much better with the new (used) stabilizer valve. BUT, once the van is warming up I still get hesitations and loss of power plus spitting and coughing. When the van finally gets to normal operating temp and it runs OK but could be smoother. Help! I don't know where to look or what else to change, and I'm done cussing. Any help will be greatly appreciated and should go down the Anals of Vanagonology. Thanks all, Joel 89 Syncro Westy - Just turned 90K today - begging for and I4
