I have been reading the archives trying to find a fix my problem
on a 85 vanagon 1.9 which started about a month ago. About
60 miles from town the van started surging and progressively
got worse. I turned around and had to go up mountains with
about 4,000 foot vertical--I eventually downshifted to 2nd
and crawled at 20-30 mph. Once the engine cools the problem
disappears until it warms up--ie.2-3 miles or 5-10 minutes.
This has been my problem solving so far.
1. AFM is about 4 months old--rebuild bosch.
2. O2 sensor is about 4 months old.
3. Replaced Temp Sensor II--no affect on problem
4. Looked at catalytic converter today--it is OK.
5. Went to Bentley's and did the multimeter checks, for
the fuel injection system, Section 24, I think,
things looked OK, but on the ECU plug the ohms for
the temp sensor I was extremely low, although at
pin 2 and 4 on the sensor itself, the ohms were
within limits.
6. I also installed the "magic harness" which did not
solve the problem.
I would love to find the "magic bullet" to solve the problem.
Can anyone give me any advice?
