---Hope someone here can shed some light on a problem I am having with my '87 Vanagon.

Recently, I am having trouble when taking off from a stop. I have to keep padding the gas pedal (which doesn't really help) to keep the RPM up enough to go above about 15 mph. After a time, it will pick up and like a rocket the van will be fine until I stop at a light etc again. I have found that if I put it in low (Its an automatic) I can get the rev's up and cut the time it takes to get the van to shoot off like a rocket and get up with traffic.

It is like playing rushing-roette trying to beet some car and get in to traffic at times.

Hope I have explained the systems enough to get some idea as to what I am talking about here.

I have replaced the fuel filter, cap and rotor all to no help.

Thanks,

Chris s.
