Subject:84 vanagon stalling
From:jeff seward

howdy!

my '84 has issues with (intermittant) stalling during
deceleration and while at idle stops...  it fires up
like a champ, idles, and then drives for awhile until
it decides to choke, gurgle, or stall.  then it won't
turn over again (like its flooded) until it sits for
awhile...  not sure if this is air/fuel flow, sensor,
or injector related... seems to be worse in colder
temperatures... might even be running a little on the
rich side.

... O2 sensor came on 200mi ago...
... Oil/filter changed 500mi ago...
... Rotor, plug wires, and belts changed 1000mi ago...
... Spark plugs replaced 5000mi ago...

That's all I know... where should I start
troubleshooting... I don't have a lot of time on my
hands these days and I live in rural Alaska with no
real VW mechanics around....

thanks,
~jeff
