Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. My Vanagon (85) has lost it's mind i think. I'll list below what i've recently changed but i could use some suggestions as to what else to look at. I honestly can't remember what the original issue was a few weeks ago but i think it was losing power when driving. Now, post all this recent work, it's driving like it's pulling another truck behind it and today it cut out when i was accelerating again! My mechanics think i'm crazy because they drove it and it was fine the other day. she ain't super fast but she usually has a bit more gusto going up hills! here's the list: flushed engine changed filters spark plugs o.k. replaced rad thermo switch cool lev sensor replaced (system bled) changed 2 relays (fuel sys and forget...ignition? replaced fuel pressure regulator checked gas pedal (needed to be re-secured) cleaned starter motor connections. (starts right off now) help??? ~karen~ "baby" 1985 Vanagon GL |
