Parts changing can get pretty expensive and cause frustration if
unsuccessful.
I didn't recall a request for help thread regarding this van.
Did you try that?

Subject: The love affair maybe be ending.....

Well to say that me and my�85' GL have had�our ups and downs is a�given.�
Thru it all I have loved my�fourth vanagon sooo much.� Everyone has been
amazingly helpful, but I think I am seeing the end of the road or maybe just
the end of the wallet.� 
The acceleration problem i�was having about 2 month back is still not doing
any better after:
        1. replacing the plugs, wires and cap/rotor
        2. new O2 sensor and temp2 sensor
        3. cat is working fine, no exhaust issues
        4. newer airflow meter
        5. injectors have a great spray pattern
        6. idles�very good, fires up everytime
        7. replaced the transmission about a year ago now, thanks�to
Randy..... thanks brother
But at last I am possibly going to replace the fuel pump now, if that does
not work then I am screwed and will probably have to let my baby
go.....��Some of the fun is figuring out the ins and outs of our vanagons.� 
Maybe I will start a Haiti�Relief to save my vanagon.......
Sad day for a diehard van-man, thanks for all the help over the years
guys......
�Thank you,
