Subject:FI problem 81 westy air cooled
From:Vanagon Man

Volks,
I am having intermittent problem with what I feel must be the FI.

It runs sort of rough until warmed up; it will start, but wants to konk out
and have low idle until warmed up...after that runs flawlessly.  It used to
run great right from the first turn of the key until a month or so ago.

Occasionally, when driving it will "buck" sort of like power to the engine
is shut off and on for a second.....sometimes a few seconds.....then it runs
like nothing happen.  It is freaky to say the least.

Any help is appreciated.
