I know I am going to get chastised for passing this on but, I was having so
many fuel injection problems with my Vanagon I named him "Grumpy" (read my trip
report, returning from T@P on the North Houston VW Club's Web site). It took
several visits but, now I would say Herr Schmidt's, here in Houston, has it
running 98%. OK. The idle seems good, (occasionally the engine dies, when it is
cold) the only other problem now is power lacking, a bit,? at low rpm's.,?
Perhaps they can address this, the next time I? have it in.

Well, I'm about to give up trying to solve my rough idle problems with my
Vanagon.? I adjusted and replaced just about everything I can think of.
Are there any good Vanagon Mechanics in Texas?? Brent, what about your
dealership??? The guys near Arlington, German.....?
I have either adjusted or replaced:
AFM w/Signal Filter Circuit built in - did fix the hesitation on take off
problem
Throttle stabilization valve
Throttle control unit
O2 sensor
Injectors - did fix the black smoke problem
temp 2 sensor
cleaned grounds, replaced ground strap
cleaned all electrical connections
ECU - with spare I bought at the VW classic - actally made a Van-CAFE ECU
monitor, but it doesn't help.
Throttle
position switch
Any ideas?
