Subject:      Low power on warm engine
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I'm new to this list, so let's see if this works:

I've got an 87 2.1L vanagon which i've been working on. I rebuilt the engine, and replaced most the cooling system. (the old owner ran the coolant dry and a valve overheated/jammed/bent pushrod/bad stuff. Anyway, once my bentley manual and I finished with it, it runs pretty good, BUT when it gets warmed up, it seems to have low power issues. That is, i have to shift sooner, and the accelerator seems to do nothing at low RPM. One more thing: When, and only when it's warm, the high rpm oil underpressure warning light and buzzer go on around 2000 rpm. Above that it's fine, below that it's fine. Has anyone seen issues like this before? It's so confusing to me, because I replaced the oil pump, all the barings, the rings, and the oil doesn't leak. Any suggestions? Thanks

Marshall Taylor
