Subject: Help!!!
I am the consequential owner of a 1987 Vanogon Syncro. I need help with an
electrical/ignition problem that won't go away for more than three months at
a time. My van acts like there is water in the fuel and runs very rich and
coughs black smoke. Power loss is evident and the idle is very rough. Every
once in a while it runs wonderfully as if a mechanic were standing right
there. Other times the power loss episodes are erratic and random. When it
is acting up pressing the accellerator to the floor clears it up with a jolt
of power and accelleration... let up on the gas and it starts jerking and
coughing again. It has new heads; alternator; waterpump; CPU; plugs; wires;
cap/rotor; air filter; etc.... Help me!!!!
My name is Neal Helfman and my e-mail address is;
NHelfman@aol.com
If you know of anyone who specializes in Vanogon electronic fuel injection
please give them my name!!!! I have $$$$$ to spend for the correct
diagnosis!!! Thankyou
