Thanks for the tip. It sounds totally logical to me. By the way, I need to
check with Paul Smith to see if a what-cha-ma-call-it is the same as a
"Ching-a-dara".

Sounds like the "Green Death" of corrosion. Clean all your connectors and
coat them with dielectric jelly or silcon spray. If you have an ECU,
especailly iof you have an ECU!, take it apart and clean the board with
acetone and coat it with a protectant.
The corrosion reduces the current to the what-cha-ma-call-it. I found out
the hard way during last year's horrific rainstorm.
Hope this helps,

That's funny. After having some fixes put in place to cure the wet weather
problems with my Vanagon, I had the same problem as you had.

. . .With all the rain, the Van started acting up again, so every once in a
while, I had to shut it
off, coast in neutral, and turn it back on, and for some reason she would
run right for about 5 miles. Then it would act up again.
