Subject:      The problems with my van
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Here is a bunch of stuff I need help fixing. Any advise would be awsome. Thanks in advance.

First when in second or third gear the van seems to mis every now and then. Second enormous amount of rattel at 45 mph. (planing on pulling the drive line and see if it still rattels. If so looks like a new drive line or u Joints.)

Third really slow out of first and second gear. I know it is a vw but it should get going a bit quicker.

Fourth no extra power going up hills. It acts like a govenor has been placed on the engine. I down shift and no more power I end up going 25 mph over the hills.

Fifth the gas gage won't read properly. I fill it up and gage only reads half or under.

Alright, I know that is a long list of a lot of possibly unrelated problems but any help on anything is appricated.
