Hey, Well, I solved the problem of my '87 Vanagon with the 1.9 Digijet stalling whenever I turn on the A/C at idle. I went to the junkyard and found a A/C equipped Digijet Vanagon and pulled one of the little white box like things on the forward right hand side of the engine compartment (has 2 vacuum hoses and 2 wires into 1 plug going into it). It's called the IDLE SPEED BOOST VALVE (your local VW parts guy will NOT find it in the Vanagon fiche but he/she will find it in the '84 Golf and Jetta fiche (they come in a pair mounted on a bracket - 1 for the A/C and 1 for the power steering) and they are expensive so I recommend the junkyard for those so needing) I hooked it up like the BENTLEY manual says (+ to the A/C compressor clutch wire on the compressor, - I grounded to the firewall; and the 2 vacuum lines I teed to either side of the AUXILIARY AIR REGULATOR (HAYNES MANUAL pg. # 24.24b). Well it worked for me. I got some e-mail question from someone when I started researching this a week or so ago but NETCOM screwed up my acct. so I cannot retrieve their address. So if you're still out there I hope this helps. See ya, Perry
