 DO you really think this guys intake manifold would clog and then
 unclog when cold!

 TO try to help is one thing...but to lead him astray is bad.
 Sorry to sound mean, but I'm getting feed up with seeing incorrect

 I see the weirdest things happen to vanagons on how they run, and by telling
the guy to be sure to check the ducting from the air filter housing that goes
into the right rear vent by the right rear window is something he should
check, just in case!  Most of the people in this list are do it yourselfers
and don't know what to look for. They also think a tune up is four spark plugs
and a cap and rotor. If the car isn't in front of me, I'm going to have to
tell the vanagon owner all the options. I guess I'll DELEAT ALL MY MAIL FOR
NOW ON,  AND NNNNNNOTTTT WAAAAAAAAIST MYYYYYYY
TIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
