I took my syncro out yesterday to drive 1 1/2 blocks to meet
the latest arrival in the neighborhood:  a white 1990 syncro
westy just like mine!  I think this has turned into  the
center of the vanagon universe.  There are at least 8
vanagon westfalias, including two prime syncros, within 8
blocks of here, several other vanagons, and lots of busses.

Perhaps out of jealousy or anger over losing its special
status in the neighborhood, my van started missing at
initial throttle...it happened several times.  It's kind of
like a falt spot very, but could be missing, that happened
soon after i started accelerating from a dead stop.  It may
be related to accelerator pedal position.  I recently
replaced the air flow meter, but have driven 1000 miles no
problem.

Any tips or arears to check would be much appreciated.
