I am wondering if anyone can offer some help on this issue my vanagon has: When I start it up and have it running for about 4 or 5 minutes, my van stalls. It seems as if it is not getting fuel to the engine. when that happens I turn the engine off briefly, and restart it and it starts and runs fine after that. If I am driving, when I notice it start to studder I can just put it in neutral, turn the ignition off and restart it while still driving. It then will run fine until I stop and let it cool down, and then the same thing will happen. It does this consistently. It never becomes a bigger problem than that. It will always restart right away, and runs ok after that. Somone I spoke with thought it might be a vacuum hose. Does this sound logical? Is there anything else that this sounds like it could be? Any help would be appreciated. Bart. Vancouver, BC, Canada. 1988 Vanagon. |
