Van is back in it home garage. VW Service by Ron in Daytona Beach finished repairs on Wednesday and I picked up van yesterday and drove it back to Macon last night. Sometime on trip back, the O2-sensor stopped working and I had problems keeping the van from stalling when I was at a traffic light. Also, black soot had come back on end of tailpipe and exhaust at idle had gasoline smell. This morning, I disconnected wire O2-sensor and idle smoothed out. O2-sensor (Bosch) was less than two months old. Idle is still not as smooth as it should be and engine has different sound than it did before. I plan on checking the timing and engine vacuum over this weekend. Anything else I should check? John |
