Roger:

I have some of these caps, 2 for $3 delivered.  Before you do this however,
make sure your wiring harness is in good shape.  There is a point where the
fuel injector conductors are tied together near the firewall enroute to the
computer.  Remove the tape and check to be sure there is no corrosion or
broken connections there.  It is a common problem.  I had to do that on my
89.  Send me a pmail if you still need to caps.
Thanks!

Subject: vanagon syndrome-- need capacitor


> Hello, I think me 85 has this syndrome.I have all the symptoms and they
have been getting worse recently, I also have stalling at start up
occasionally, where I never had this before. Gotta do something about it.
Whenever I start getting the bucking, I just floor the van and it stops
doing it.    I have the repair text that has the capaciter with the  smiling
face on it.Down loaded it from somewhere-I have seen this paper many places
before, so it is common on the list.   My question is , where can I get the
15V 22 microfarad  tantalum capaciter ? I am sure that I need a capacitor
that will work in very warm places. Can I get it at a radioshack type place
(local), or must I mail order it? I tried to fix the afm by removing the lid
and cleaning with contact cleaner, but I only made things worse. It is real
bad. Thanks, Roger
