Steve,
First check with a VW authorized dealer to see if your vanagon
ever had the fuel lines, injectors, and fuel rails replaced under
a recall called "RV".
The 1990 model year qualified for this recall, and possibly earlier
ones qualified as well. Apparently 1991 model year did not qualify for
the free replacement of the above.
Not sure if this recall, "RV", is still in effect, but it should be if yours hasn't
been done. VW keeps records for every vin number.

You might remember me asking for advice on buying this 89 Westy. I bought
it. And I like it. I really really like it. Thanks to everyone for your
help. It's super clean and no rust (rare in the Detroit Metro Area). Now for
my next set of questions. What should I do next? In respects to taking care
of the Van. This is my first Camper Van, so I'm kind of green at this. But I
do own a 98 GTI VR6 that work on quite regularly. Mostly upgrading go fast
parts. Any help would be nice. And I do have maintance records since 92.
