Subject:Latest on the Rough Running '90 Carat....@#$%&!!!

Greetings all and thanks to those who've sent helpful
suggestions.

Having limped the Vanagon home after picking it up at
the mechanics (and laying out some SERIUOS coin)..she
was running rough, blowing the black exhaust...all of
which weren't present in the shops driveway but
started up once a got her up to 50+mph.

Anyway....she sat overnight...I started her up to take
her back and she ran reasonably well on the slower
back roads...didn't notice any of the rich-running
symptoms...so before I got her back to the mechanic I
took her down the highway at 60+...soon started
bucking and blowing exhaust, running rough..even
stalled.  Started her up...drove back at 40-50mph and
she ran ok again.

So...it seems now that she is developing the symptoms
at higher revs/speeds.

Suggestions anyone????
