Hi,
I still have power loss - I initially noticed it only in third when
increasing the rpms to shift, but now it's apparent when pushing on the
accelerator to hard/fast on the flats, highway when increasing speed,
going up hills even in second. Yesterday I couldn't go faster than 30 mph
up a reasonable hill without it coughing and losing power. I replaced the
vacuum hoses and dirty fuel filter, but not yet the distributor, as one
person recommended. Any trouble shooting sequences I should do before I
get a new distributor? I should mention that it seems to happen
mostly after it's warmed up and has been going awhile.
I just bought the van last month and ddrove some long distances without
this happening then.
Having this occurance in LA traffic, where I'm visiting, is a bit
disconcerting! And I'd like to go on a trip!
Thanks,
Andree
