Might have gotten a little trash in 1 of the carbs and when you down shifted it
knocked it loose.

4,000 RPM - but this is a little wierd - when it started missing and slowing

actually thought something in the drivetrain was the problem and pushed the
clutch in to see what would happen.
Oh well, we shall see. May be like Brian said and Sparky was just pissed at
being left in the driveway for a week while the vanagon went on a campout.

Too low RPM and carbs loaded up and flooded??

work, Sparky is cruising along just fine @ 55 MPH and all the sudden started
losing power and eventually, died. All I did was pop the clutch in 3rd gear as
I was slowing down, it started right back up, drove the rest of the way to work
and just now to lunch without any further problems.
The lights on the dash and red warning lights did not come on until it
finally died. While it was slowing down and running rough, no warning lights
on. Not like other times when I've lost my hot wire to the iginition and
everything just goes dead.
Any ideas?
