Poor you guys with all your stock engine glitch, all over the web and in
real life. I feel your pain.

This sound like a temp2 sender problem, and they are cheap if you can do it
yourself. Please unplug the OS sender also. Drive it without. This can be
electric wire/ground related also, the worse one. A fuel pressure test is a
must also.

Last thing, ECM.

I have a lot use part for sale, many part are not listed on my page.
I would give you free little used part just so you can try stuff, BUT it's
the time to pack and go to the post office that is costly.

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,
