I was driving the 1984 vanagon 1.9 home and experienced engine dying--I could let my foot off the gas and feather it back to get going again without stopping--this happened 4 or 5 times on a 1/2 hr ride home. I am thinking water in the tank--it's about 1/4 full. Should I pull the fuel filter and dump it out to look for water? Could it be a ground? Is it a heat-related problem? I can say when my wife stalled out this weekend the tank was at the same level. The vehicle sat for 1/2 to 1 hr before I arrived to save her--I put the key in and it ran like a a new car---I got gas and drove home, then I drove her to work this morning and did a bunch of driving all day--no problem till I hit rush-hour traffic. I also replaced the alternator 3 weeks ago with a cheap replacement. Any and all advice or similar experience is appreciated.
