Subject:Why has my 87 Westy quit stalling?
From:Ken Anderson
Date:Sun, 7 Mar 2004 21:50:54 -0800

My 87 Westy has had intermittent stalling for the past two years that I've
owned it.

I replaced the ECU last year, and most of my problems went away, but it
still stalled at the most awkward, intermittent, sporadic,
impossible-to-predict times.  Today I drove three hours to a ski hill.  And
three hours back.  On the way out, about half an hour into the drive, the
vanagon stalled twice.  But from that point on, it drove like a dream.  No
stalling.  It's as if it coughed up two hairballs and then was OK.

What happened?  I'd like to make the change permanent.

Thanks,
-Ken
