Just a few thoughts about the capacitor fix to the afm instructions on my website. If you have a minor intermittent syndrome, in which the vanagon always starts up again right away, and mostly keeps running, except with a few hiccups from erratic afm signals, the cap fix can help. However, if you have major intermittent syndrome, that goes on and on, freeway or town driving, and makes it almost impossible to drive the vanagon, you should take a serious look at the Ecu. Thanks to Darrell Boehler who some time ago explained to the list about heat buildup inside the vanagon Ecu. (Darrell now drives a Eurovan). The circuit board inside the Ecu in some areas can suffer heat damage, and solder connections can go bad. If you remove the Ecu cover, you can see the darkened area of the circuit board. Sometimes resoldering the bad contacts can help, and can possibly give you more life on the Ecu. Harald '90 westy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.
