Al,
I think that "Vanagon Syndrome" is a condition not yet medically identified
that applies to anyone that owns and drives one or more on a regular basis.
Other than that, sometimes Vanagons have trouble running right.
Severely afflicted, I remain,
Dave

In a sense, I guess any problem that happens often to Vanagons could be
called "Vanagon Syndrome", but no, I suspect that this is not what's wrong
with yours. Unplug your O2 sensor. Just the single wire is all that is
necessary. Don't even need to open the lid if you don't mind lying on the
ground. Just follow the wires from the sensor, unplug at the connector.
The problem that the harness repairs, needs a new name. Anyone have a
better name for Vanagon Syndrome? AFM temporary lockout, maybe?
