Subject:strange bucking problem w/ '84 vanagon wbx
Date:Wed, 16 Feb 2005 17:51:00 EST

last week i was driving back from a 2 hr trip with my '84 vanagon...was on
the interstate, prolly going 75 mph, no problems.. then all the sudden i started
to get this missing, bucking..hiccuping..seems like i was losing power while
it was doing it.. i pulled off at the nearest exit, popped the engine lid,
checked the ECU and AFM connections and everything seemed ok..  i started back
out on the highway and continued my trip home , another 30 mins or so, without a
problem..
does anyone know what that 'hiccuping" could have been?  it hasnt done it
since..
does it sound like the "vanagon syndrome" problem?

thanks to all who can offer advice..
