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???
