Hello group........


I don't know if it is related but the only two times I've experienced
Vanagon Syndrome has been after coasting down to the bottom of long long
grades. I would hit the throttle at the bottom and nothing would happen -
just sputtering. I'd pull over, stop the engine, restart and all would be
OK.


FWIW - this is the only problem I've ever had with this van after four years
and twenty thousand or so miles.


My "cure" has been to modulate the throttle as I coast down any long hill in
my automatic '87 Westy.


I haven't experienced the syndrome since.
