Hi all,

I drove over 900 miles today and have about 175 to go tomorrow before I reach  my destination.  Billy Bones did pretty well,
but did start bucking and skipping.

Symptoms

Skipping and cutting out as reach the top of a hill and just as I start up the other side.
When I pull off the Interstate the idle is at around 2000 rpm and then begins to fluctuate and eventually dies.
Will restart, but I need to work the pedal a bit.

When it starts bucking out on the road, I can depress the clutch and rev the engine a bit and then it clears up
for a while, but soon returns.  Otherwise power is good.  I popped the hatch and wiggled everything and nothing
changed.  I unplugged the AFM and replugged it and no change.  I unplugged the O2 sensor and replugged it and
no change.

Does this sound like the dreaded Vanagon bucking syndrome?

I have my tools with me, including my multimeter.  Your suggestions are much appreciated!.
