He told me he turned the screw on the AFM really far to make it run richer. Yes, I need to find a new mechanic for this van but he's the last of the old timers, almost ready to retire, and he's tired of working on my van. He used to do good work. All we have left here near me is the sons of the old guys. If they can't plug the van into a computer they don't want to look at it. I need to find a Vanagon specialist in my area.

But first, what makes you think it's running rich? You don't say. Replacing the plugs, rotor, etc. will never cure a running rich problem. Shops do this because it's the easiest thing they can imagine besides giving it a tire polish. Puts money in the till, but not much more. Careful--next they'll want to replace the ECU, another easy one that almost never solves any problems. What you should really be paying for is a mechanic with diagnostic abilities. |
