If you're lucky like me, VW put a $94 idle stabilizer on your vehicle, too. When my '91 Jetta is hot it idles at 1500-3000 RPM depending upon how many people are looking at me. At least on my Jetta, the idle stabilizer is a cylindrical-lookin' thing that sits on the intake manifold with hoses 'n' stuff running into it. If you have one of these, try hitting it with a wrench or something and see if the idle changes. If the idle changes, lemme know. I've got a couple of articles from rec.autos.vw regarding this problem. Of course, the Vanagon may not even have an idle stabilizer...
