howdy! my '84 has issues with (intermittant) stalling during deceleration and while at idle stops... it fires up like a champ, idles, and then drives for awhile until it decides to choke, gurgle, or stall. then it won't turn over again (like its flooded) until it sits for awhile... not sure if this is air/fuel flow, sensor, or injector related... seems to be worse in colder temperatures... might even be running a little on the rich side. ... O2 sensor came on 200mi ago... ... Oil/filter changed 500mi ago... ... Rotor, plug wires, and belts changed 1000mi ago... ... Spark plugs replaced 5000mi ago... That's all I know... where should I start troubleshooting... I don't have a lot of time on my hands these days and I live in rural Alaska with no real VW mechanics around.... thanks, ~jeff '84 Vanagon GL '94 Nissan p/up 1 6-year-old KBD Houdini dog
