Hey everyone, Alright, I have an 82 air cooled Vanagon, Federal model, so no O2 sensor to worry about. When running the van will unexpectedly begin to totally bog down, total loss of power, barely able to keep it running. If I let up on the accelerator it will die. When restarted it will continue to do this for 1-10 minutes, then all of a sudden it will run fine again. 5 minutes down the road it will do it again. Sometimes it only last about 30 seconds, then runs excellent again. So it is an intermittent problem, a very frustrating type of gremlin to chase. I have spliced new terminals to all of the fuel injection grounds (including the tranny to chassis ground). I am not sure where to look next. If it is some sort of intermittent short in the wiring it could be anywhere! Any ideas out there? PS. The AFM checks out according to Bentley Thanks, Jake
