Have you checked the intake boot for any tears that open up while you floor
it?  This torques the engine and opens up the terror for air to get in.

If you're talking about the air flow metre, I've done a little bit of a
write-up on the samba on how to fix some parts, but if you want to rebuild
the items, you can't find the circuit board or the temp sensor to replace
them.

If it's an air-cooled van please check out fb.com/groups/aircooledvanagon
and the file resources. And also find out who is local for you!

Also I don't mind helping troubleshoot so over a Facebook call now and then
for air-cooled Vanagons.
