I had a similar thing happen to me with my '84 Vanagon about a year ago. I posted it to the list at that time but here is what I discovered: One of the lines that go from the gas tank to the expansion tanks in the front wheel wells was old and had started to leak. I replaced this line and after that the van ran great. I tried telling folks about this last year and asking what could've caused the van to run so terrible just because one of the fuel lines to the gas tank expansion system was leaking and no one ever really came up with any ideas. Hope this helps, Ken Wilford http://www.vanagain.com John 3:16 Phone: (856)-765-1583 Shop: (856)-327-0027 Fax: (856)-327-2242 |
