I am in need of consulting the wisdom of the list.  I have what would be
described as vanagon syndrome.  Every once in a while(and very
frequently now)  I will loose power.  I can turn of the engine and
restart it and it maybe will run fine, but more frequently it goes back
into the running rough mode.  I can floor it and sometimes it will get
past it, but then it will start up again.  It used to happen every once
in a while, but now it is happening more frequently to the point where I
stall at lights and have to floor it all the time to get it to go.  I
have the factory wiring harness fix(part number 025-906-302)installed by
previous owner so this cant be the issue.  I have given her a tune
up(spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor) but it does the same
thing.  Someone mentioned in the previous vanagon syndrome thread to
check the throttle switch.  What is this?  Are you talking about the
idle screw on the throttle body or something else?  In my 74 there are a
few grounding straps, where are the grounding straps on my 87 2.1.  I am
going to red rocks tonight and would love to take the westy, someone
please point me in the right direction.  I believe my computer is
defaulting for some reason, I am sure someone on this list has had the
same issue and gotten past it.  Please help.
