Hello Gentlemen, I have a 85 Vanagon that came in for a
severe surging just off idle, it's fine at half throttle.
We did a full tune-up, checked for vacumn leaks, replaced
all engine ground wires, checked fuel pressure. The only
thing we can do to make it better is to disconnect the
coolant temp. switch. We changed the switch with no
success. We swapped air flow box, ECU, checked idle
switches, and did a pin out test at the computer. If anyone
has any more suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys, Bob.
