There's also the rumored 3rd fix for this problem (aka The Don Lancaster
Solution), which is resoldering some steel-leaded (!) resistor or another in
the ECU.  Hey Gerry - is that Electronics Now article describing the fix (Feb
'95?) ever going to make it into the archive?  I *have* heard from Vanagon
owners who had the ghost harness installed and it didn't make a lick of
difference; at least it didn't fix the "cut-out" symptom which seems to be
associated with the lurching and bucking.  Anybody else had the harness
installed to no avail?
