Subject:Yet Another Vanagon Warm Up Question...
From:Scott DeSanti
Date:Thu, 28 May 1998 11:27:05 EDT

Hello Folks,

                Lemme jump on the warm-up bandwagon with the following question.
My 86 Vanagon 2.1 just recently had the heads and rings done accompanied by an
oil and filter change (20w50 and Mann).  Now, right after starting, the idle
is somewhat loping (rougher than before) and it hesitates (sputters) when
intially accelerating.  This morning it actually backfired once.  Once it wams
up, say 15 or 20 minutes....ops normal.  I await the impending onslaught of
knowledge.
