Reply to:RE>>Re: 84 random hiccup I disagree (maybe). On my 88 Westie the infamous '$100.00 wiring harness capacitor thing' fixed a problem on my van which sounds similar but not exactly the same. The harness thing fixed a complete loss of power until the van wouldn't run at all and I had to pull over. I agree with the others that this is the first thing to try (it's cheaper than any other fix) but I wouldn't rule out the air flow meter. Those tend to be particularly sensitive to gas pedal position. If the wiring harness thing doesn't fix the problem, let me know. I have an extra air flow meter for my 88 (bought it before I replaced the ECU-ouch!). If the part number is the same you may be able to borrow it for troubleshooting. If you know someone with the same year as yours, ask them to borrow their ECU for a day. Might just fix the problem too. Kirk out --------------------------------------
