Aaron,
Have you checked the throttle switches? There are two switches on the throttle body, one for decelleration and the other for full throttle enrichment- if these are bad or misadjusted, it could be a possibility..

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,
