Subject:      drives 1/4 mile and dies

Hi,

I'm really sorry if this is an old subject. I searched the archives but couldn't think of the exact words to search for, so I found similar but not quite the same.

Problem is this: after driving 15 minutes or so, the van ('86 water cooled vanagon 2.1l) hiccupped and lost power. It started up just fine again, drove a 1/4 mile, and died again. Same thing all the way back home. No problem starting, runs fine for a 1/4 mile, then hiccups and dies.

Can someone suggest where to start looking? (Could you copy me on the e-mail? I'm not receiving the list at the moment.)

Thanks!

Darie '86 Westy, freshly painted 4 new colours
