Intake manifold leaks are one thing to check for very
carefully...........that pops into my mind.

Auxiliary air valve, or hoses to it..........also.

'idle stabilzer' ........part of the igntion circuit..........that pops to
mind also.

Subject: Engine lopes at idle

All,
I am trying to get my 84 Vanagon up and running again.  The engine slows
down then speeds up in a cyclic pattern when idling.  The engine runs fine
while traveling down the road.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
George
