howdy yalll!!...
well its me and my 1988 Wolfsburg Edition Vanagon.  it was missing at lower revs.  it would continue to do this until i tached the motor up.  the other day when i was in tacoma i was on the interstate and it started to miss.   i could keep up the speed i was traveling but not speed up.  i could speed up slowly if i roled into the throttle very slowly(not my style, sometimes).  so yesterday i got a chance to do some better inspecting.  i had purchased a set of Bosch plug wires to install, but never got to that point.  the ditributor cap at rotor had some wear/corrosion on them.  so i cleaned/scraped/filed that off to the best of my ability without marking up the surface.  still the problem persisted.  so then i check the gap on all the spark plugs.(Bosch Super's) they were way off.  at the most they should be .032", they were around .050"-.053".  so corrected the gap of the plugs and reinstalled them.  problem fixed.  i will be replacing the fuel filter soon just cause i should.  the
 plug wire look factory still(didnt know that they would last that long)
i will be checking the resistance of those too.(my multi-meter was broken)
so to those of you who adviced me, thank for your help.
ok gotta go find something else that need to be fixed.
