Sounds to me like your throttle position switche(s) need adjustment. The procedure for adjusting it (or them) are in the Bentley and I'm sure in the archives and/or on the Samba.com. If you don't have a Bentley Shop manual for the Vanagon you should get one as it will prove to be invaluable. Try searching TPS (throttle position switch) in both places and you will get lots of information. I believe early '84 have two switches (like mine) and later '84 have only one switch. Mine did the exact same thing you described after rebuilding my motor because my the switches that were out of adjustment. I also have the dijijet fuel injection manual that has the adjustment procedure in more detail than the Bentley. Pmail me if you cannot find the information in the archives.

When idling it runs fairly smooth but sometimes it does this also when idling. Otherwise the motor seems to run fine" ------------------------------------------------------------ + To unsubscribe from the Vanagon List send an e-mail to + listserv@gerry.vanagon.com with SIGNOFF VANAGON + in the body of the message. ------------------------------------------------------------ |
