I can't see you leave it now.  There is some very small thing to fix always.
That's good part of the fun.

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,
