The following week I replaced the AFM that had the resistor installed in it for the "vanagon syndrome" problem. With the new reconditioned GOWESTY AFM I thought great we will be free wheeling now and onto another vacation. Drove the Westy out of the barn and down the dirt road for 1/2 mile and then all died. Ouch!

In the process moved the Hall plug around and it started up then died.  Called VanCafe spoke to Chris about the plug they sold me. He spoke to an older VW mechanic onsite. He suggested a wire tie around the Hall Sensor plug on the distributor which he always does for all WBX 2.1 engines. It worked. Westy starts up runs
