my uncle asked me to ask y'all


his 1984 vanagon gl runs fine on level ground.. but when he starts
climbing a hill, the engine sputters and refuses to acelerate or even
maintain speed...
he has an auto tranny.


the repair shop hes taking it to says it has something to do with the
timing sensor or the catalytic convertor...either way it;ll cost 1700
bucks to replace the timing sensor.. and he doesnt want to put that much
money into the problem...


waht are your suggestions.... thanks in advance.
