Friends, Does anyone know if vanagons (mines '87) suffer from "ice-over"? This happens in air cooled (at least to my bug) engines when it''s cold outside, ice forms on the manifold and carb, choking it. Last night driving home in the snow storm (SLC,Utah) I found my pedal had almost no guts behind it, and it got worse as I went, to the point that by the time I got to provo, (45 miles) I stalled 3 times at stop lights. While I was driving, it wouldn't let me have anymore power. I'd push on the accelorator and it would seem to "de-cellerate". Could this be ice-over, or is it a fuel line/filter problem. Info: I often have hesitation off the line in first and second that goes away after 2500 RPM. and, I had just put some techron and filled up hours earlier last night. any info would be helpful. this is the first time the vanagon has ever stalled or had this severe of an acceleration problem. Thanks in advance Tony
