Subject:Missing Problem on Ljet Vanagon
From:Ken Korn

I know this is a Vanagon problem but there is a wealth of Type 4 knowlege on
the 914 list so....

I have an 82 Vanagon Westfalia camper with the 2.0 Ljet aircooled engine.The
engine is a California spec with Hall distributor. It has a miss under load
especially at higher rpm's and loading. I have done the new plugs, wires,
cap, rotor, coil, and the problem persists. Is it possible that I have some
kind of fuel injection problem? BTW, I also have replaced the fuel pressure
regulator and have swapped out the AFC with no change.

Another (unrelated?) problem is that starting from cold, overnite sitting,
requires a lot of cranking. Once it has started once, there is no problem
starting again, even if it sits for an hour or more.

Any ideas? I'm running out.

Thanks,

Ken
