I would test the Temp Sensor II on the thermostat housing and see if the
resistence reading is correct per the Bentley manual.  You could check this
at the ECU which is more convenient.  The Bentley has the ECU pin info and
resistence chart.

Subject: cold starting

Hello all, I'm having a problem with my '87 Vanagon starting first thing
in the morning. It'll start but you have to keep it running with the gas
pedal for 30 seconds or so, sometimes a minute before it'll idle on its
own, otherwise it stalls. It's normally only the first time when its
cold that's it giving us the problem.
Any ideas? Tony
