It's been a while since I've read your posts on this subject.  What exactly
is your van doing, or not doing?  

You've replaced some expensive components; sometimes these problems are
traceable to something as simple as a loose ground.  

You say you have no exhaust issues; how do you know that?  

Was there anything you changed about the van about the time that it started
running poorly?

|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,
