Sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere after the AFM, but before the
throttle. Look for a loose hose.

Subject: Cutting out

I was  coming home last night ,outside temp was about 32 and the wind
was a whipping about 35 so it was kinda on the chilly side. The vanagon
has a cabriolet engine in it and has the digifant engine maintenance
system. Ok here is the problem when i mashed the accelerator down it
wanted to almost shut off. But it would pick up and run only if i would
keep it at a constant pull on the feed.It would not idle at times at a
light and when  it did idle it did at 2000rpm. Anyone have
anysuggestions?
