As a brand-new list member I'd like to run a problem by y'all for advice.
My 84 camper is no longer going on adventures because of a new problem which
renders her unreliable.

After driving for awhile (engine at full temperature...50% deflection of
water temp arrow)  engine will cut-out for just a fraction of a second
(bucking sensation).  This occurs intermittently but repeatedly.  Doesn't
even last long enough for the tachometer to register it.
I tried driving on the highway for almost an hour this weekend and the van
never actually died, just bucked 20 or more times.

I looked at the archives on this.
I installed a new AFM.
I installed the capacitor in the AFM wiring harness.
I have not yet re-soldered the ECU.

Are there any new takes on this out there?
Should I remove the ECU and heat up the solder joints??
TIA.
