The other day my 87 syncro westy drove like crap.  For a while it has  had
intermittent problems with bucking and hesitation, but the other day it went
from being like a flu to being like the black death.  As I drove the five
minutes from the store home it went from losing power and bucking to completely
losing power.  If I switched it off and restarted it fired up fine , and  ran
fine at full power for a several minutes, then a couple of  minutes, until
ultimately I was flipping it on and off every 100 yards or so to  limp home.  When
in its fugue the throttle did nothing, I  could floor it without the engine
responding.  I thought the dreaded  vanagon syndrome came from running one speed
for a while?

Is the corrected afm part supposed to have an A after it?  I checked  and my
harness is 025 906 302, without the A.  I also looked in the air  filter and
found a bit of water in there, which has soaked into the air filter a  bit.
Probably a red herring, but that can't be helping things.

Help?
