Subject: Intermittent Stalling - Capacitor Solution
Content-Type: text/html
<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Thanks to everyone for all the help I got with this problem. After researching a little more, I think I'll try the capacitor trick before purchasing a $100+ wiring harness (025 906 302).</DIV>
<DIV>This sounds like a good start in the Quest to Solve Vanagon Intermittent Stalling. </DIV>
<DIV>(I guess you guys/gals who have heard of this know what I'm talking about. ) I have a few questions about the procedure:</DIV>
<DIV>1. This capacitor goes between wires 2 and 4 correct? I've heard to connect the positive to 2 and I've heard to connect the positive to 4. Which one is it?!</DIV>
<DIV>2. I hear to use the 25V 22microFarad instead of a 25V 10microFarad. Anyone have any comments on that?</DIV>
<DIV>3. This capacitor apparently discharges when connection is lost on the resistor wiper, this is correct? no?</DIV>
<DIV>4. Does anyone know where to get these? I had access to individual electrical elements with on of my old jobs (which helped fund my homemade guitar pedals, he he.)? Radio Shack does not have it.</DIV>
<DIV>Have a great day!<BR>Craig</DIV>
