Hey Gerry - is that Electronics Now article describing the fix (Feb '95?) ever going to make it into the archive? I *have* heard from Vanagon owners who had the ghost harness installed and it didn't make a lick of difference; at least it didn't fix the "cut-out" symptom which seems to be associated with the lurching and bucking. Anybody else had the harness installed to no avail? Steve Hoge '77 Loaf '89 GL Syncro (yeah - I found one!)
