Yeah, that's exactly what my work van does. You can see it on the little O2 meter I hooked up, misfiring every second or two, slamming that needle down to zero, confusing the ECU and driving the whole thing rich. Passes smog and gets 15MPG carrying 800 pounds of tools and parts with an auto transmission, though, so it's not a show stopper. I keep meaning to chase that down, but who has time anymore.... -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Lastwagen" '90 Vanagon GL - "Wiesel"
