When I bought my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile with 2.1 waterboxer, it had severe hiccups, which were intermittent and hadn't shown up in my test drives or to the mechanic who inspected it for me. When the hiccups did show up, I took it to a good Vanagon mechanic. He did all the standard tune up procedures, plus grounds, connections, AFM replacement (not that expensive). In the 50K miles I've driven it, it has never hiccuped. Solid, standard maintenance works wonders. mcneely On Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 8:35 AM, Dan N <dn92610@gmail.com> wrote: > I read somewhere on the net that the AFM harness does not solved all the > hiccup problems because there are problems very similar ....
