Put some Seafoam in it. It is the best.

I believe my actual issues stems from my O2 sensor not being completely
plugged in. It seems it has 2 plugs and only 1 was done. So tomorrow I am going
to replace the sensor and add some RXP gas treatment and hope for the best.
Y'all keep your fingers crossed for me! I may make it yet! John

Buy some Lucas Fuel Treatment (Quart Size Bottle) and pour 1/2 of it
into your tank and 1/2 in the next fill up.

1986 isn't old enough yet. I also have the problem of when it
gets up to operating temp it wants to fall on its face like 2 injectors are
shut down. I think it just needs to be driven more and get the 3 years of
cobwebs out.

Is that thing old enough for antique plates (25)? If
so just grab you some antque plates and you don't have to have inspection.

Update: Today I drove my Vanagon to work so I
could get the inspection done when I went home. Well.... She failed the
emission test miserably. The HC and CO counts were thru the roof! I don't know
where to begin and won't have another chance to work with any progress until
after T@P . I don't think I will make it. (Paul, you better do this next year
too!!!) I am going to start my research of what could be wrong,( no its not
because its a water-cooled Vanagon!) here on the web and see if I can at least
get it drivable. Wish me luck, John

I am exited! Today after work I went to
Lonnie's house and changed the belts on my 86 Westy and then drove her home to
my house approx. 18 miles down the highway! While to most of you may thing less
than 20 miles is no big deal, rememb er I got this VW less than a month ago and
it had not run for over 3 years. Lonnie and other good friends, not to forget
my father, helped her back into running shape with just 2 Saturdays to work on
the engine.. My thanks goes to Lonnie and the rest of them.
John
p.s. Paul, it looks like you will have another
one at T@P6! I just won't know for sure until I pull in the lot. LOL
