Hi Dave ! I assume you have an injected engine ?? If so, check them small VW sockets that are hidden under rubber everywhere around the engine ! Takeīm apart check for corrosion and use some electrical or anti corrosive oil spray on every single one ! If this donīt work, lift the lid on the AFM and use a little electrical spray there too I had this problem every fall as long as I drove the Digifant WBX, kept comming back and itīs a pain in the butt not to know weather your engineīs gonna stall or accelerate when you press the pedal !! Many times Iīve had to abort passing 18 wheelers with a dead engine in the rain, always to the joy of the driver behind me ;-) Calle -88 Volgon Mullhyttan, Sweden > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Engstrom [mailto:DDEngstrom@AOL.COM] > Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2004 4:32 PM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: [VANAGON] Help with wet weather cut out problem > > > My 87 Westie has developed a problem.
