Hi there , Vanagon'ners!
I have a kind of veird problem that I wonder if anyone else has been
suffering, and may have a solution to :-\
I have a -88 vanagon with the 2.1 digifant engine.
Its normally running like a champ but every now and then itīll get
hiccups!
The weirdest thing of it all is that itīs almost always happening when
Iīm out for a little longer drive and the thing that happens is that
after a couple of hours driving at app. 55 mph the engine starts
stalling for about a microsec. at the time.
This could go on for about a minute or two and sometimes it is followed
by a big black exhaust cloud which is cured by restarting the engine a
couple of times but the most common thing is that the "hiccups" stops
and the car runs on like if nothing ever happened.
The Vanagon  has never stopped permanently so itīs only a minor problem
but nevertheless a f******g anoying one!
Any ideas ????
