Subject:Vanagon Syndrome???
From:Pat Callaghan

Hi,

     From what I can get from the archives, the "vanagon syndrome" only
relates to very long drives(over an hour).  Am I correct?  I am having a
similar problem but it is after I only drive about 15 minutes, maybe 10
miles.  The van starts to lose power.  If I try to give it more gas it gets
very rough & the RPMs go up & down.  If I just pull over & shut the van off
& restart, the thing is fine.  This is very intermittent.  It has happened
about 4 times in the last 6 months but twice in the last couple of weeks.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
