Subject:I'm giving up!

I'm beat ... the Vanagon gremlins have won, I'm tired of wasting my
time...whining over. I'm getting the Syncro towed next week to the mechanic ugh! At
cold start it's absolutely fine and once it warms up about 5 minutes of idling it
starts to sputter, no power, back fires and once in a while regains power for
10 sec or so. Totally undriveable still. I've cleaned all grounds installed a
new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, temp sensor and I installed the capacitor for
the air flow as well. What the F*** is wrong with this van! Anymore
suggestions...

I miss the simplicity of my 71 Westy

Thanks, Andy
