Dear List,

I have spent over 70 hours trying to diagnose
an elusive hesitation problem in my '86 2.1L. I
initially posted on this under "...possessed..."
three weeks ago.

Two very good Vanagon mechanic friends, including Darrell
Boehler, have offered many hours looking at this but
not completely fixed it.  I got lots of good responses
from the list, but none that worked.  There is no one else
of Darrell's calibre that I can take the van to.

Would the list mind if I offered a moderate "diagnosis
reward" of $100 for the answer?  I am out of options
with this engine.

I would post symptoms on a web page and try to keep most
discussion (except for a final winning diagnosis and
summary, of course) off the list.

Thanks,

Steve Gough
'86 Westy
