To anyone who can help,

I have had my '86 Vanagon (87000 miles)(synchro, westy) since '88. Roughly from the time I purchased it, the motor randomly cuts out but does not usually die completely, a somewhat violent occurrence, especially under load. I have tried various dealerships, under warrantee, but got no real solutions. The ECU was replaced once. I gave up trying to solve the problem as it is intermittent. Recently, after subscribing to this group heard about the wire-harness patch. I installed the patch and it did not stop the unpleasantries.

Do I continue to live with the hiccupping or are there any suggestions? I dread having to start replacing parts with hopes of solving the problem.

Help.... Thanks.
