I going to weigh in on it being an improperly adjusted, or just broken
throttle position switch. Its relatively easy to check if its working
properly see your Bentley. Its important to note that the adjustment is
finicky, while you are trying to tighten the one micro Allen your adjustment
may be wandering. Do the voltmeter check after you tighten it as well. Good
luck.

Dear List,

After probably 70 man-hours of work and lots of consultation,
on a hesitation problem, my '86 Vanagon still won't run right.
I am at a loss, and am offering $100 cash to the winning diagnosis.
This is not a joke!  Open to all list members.

Yes, I know the list will help for free, and several already
have.  But a hundred bucks would be a small price for me to
pay at this point.  I hope it'll be fun, because it hasn't
been so far.  If you are feeling smart but not mercenary, I
will gladly give the prize to charity in your name.

Details at  http://www.emriver.com/vandemon.htm

Be warned that the Quicktime movie is kind of funny,
but is around 2.5mb in size.  And be warned that some very
smart guys have been stumped!

Thanks, and good luck,

Steve Gough
