Greetings All,
My daughter's 1986 (2.1) Vanagon (AKA: The Mystery Machine) has sat for
about 6 to 8 months without being used (she is USAF & just returned home for
a short break).  When I started it for her the other day it would not run
unless I kept my foot on the accelerator pedal.  If I took my foot off, the
idle speed would drop to zero & it would die.  No real problem with being
smooth running or anything, it just has no idle setting now.  Anyone care to
comment as to what may have happened?  It was running fine before the period
of non use.
Thanks, for any tips!
Ramon
