>> There you go, very simple... get a spare AFM and swap it! Like Scott said, it's nice to have spare parts to do some test. Find a shop who as vanagon in the yard / shop. << I have a spare and I swapped it out. It still ran the same. It's not a 100% test though since the spare AFM may be bad too. If anybody has a spare AFM I can test out here in SE PA that would be great. >> -Blue temp sender (change it) << Where is that located? Here's my thoughts so far after working on and driving this van for the last few days. Basically low speed acceleration is non-existent. Pressing the gas pedal from 1/3 to full throttle makes no difference. What is different thought is regular cruising speed is great. I was going 50 in a 35 MPH zone without realizing it. Before it felt like the engine was straining (but I had low speed acceleration.) If this were my '65 Beetle I would say the timing was off or the distributer was not advancing. That's what it feels like. I called my mechanic to get an appt to put that crossover pipe on next week. I'll have him check the compression too. Please convince me not to order a carburetor kit....
