Sounds like an O2 sensor issue. To confirm, when it happens, hold throttle steady and turn ignition off and back on. If it works ok for a short while, then definitely O2 sensor or wiring for it.

Howdy, I just picked up an 87 2wd Westfalia- the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and all fluids are new. I also replaced the ground on the O2 sensor. I have put two tanks of gas through it, one with fuel injector additive. Anyhow, the van runs well most of the time but intermittently starts missing on what I think are two cylinders. This happens when I am holding the gas steady and stops happening if I floor the gas pedal rather abruptly. A few seconds after I take the pedal off the floor, it starts missing again. Does anyone else recognize these symptoms and have any suggestions? Thanks Shawn Portland Oregon
