Subject:      bucking in parking lots

Hi,



I recently purchased an 84 Westy. This is my first vanagon. After purchasing
it I discovered many problems.  Most of them I have worked through. For
example patching the canvas and  screen.  New fuel pump, new clutch slave
cylinder and master cylinder, new cat and muffler, and miscellaneous wiring
issues.  But there remains one issue that I don't seem to be able to solve.
A friend recommended this site as it helped him with some of his problems on
his vanagon.



So this is the problem, when a step on the gas pedal just a little. The
motor revs up and down.  When idling it runs fairly smooth but sometimes it
does this also when idling.  Otherwise the motor seems to run fine.  This
condition doesn't become a problem unless I am in a parking lot or very slow
traffic.  Then it is difficult to drive as I have to keep it revved enough
to prevent this from happening.  If I don't it will begin to buck along. I
have had several mechanics look at it and no one seems know what it is.



Does anyone on this list have any ideas or previous experience with this
type of situation?



Thanks, deek
