Subject:      stalling even after

Thanks to all who sent info regarding stalling vanagons(Haunted 84 hi top camper) . I have changed the coil, did the capacitor harness modification, changed fuel filters, sensor two. Problem still persists, but manifests itself slightly differently. For the last few days, since the new coil, it occasionally stumbles at mid range throttle after running for a while, (12-15 mi) usually whem exiting the freeway. I can pump the gas, to get it to "catch", then floor it, it hesitates, then takes off to full throttle. The problem is then gone, until the next strange occurance. Please help. It's now harder to diagnose, as it does not cpmpletely stop and strand me, as it was doing before for 30 minute"rest stops" prior to the coil and capacitor fixes.

P.S. I found h-4 headlights for the camper at the junkyard. Be on the lookout for 914's and similar sports cars with hidden headlights...you can manually roll 'em open, often to find hidden treasures! Happy hunting.
