Scott, Thanks for the reply, on a trip out west the stumbling ocurr at cold temps 20-40 but the other on Dec.26 it was 55-60 in TN.So temp. don't seem to be a factor.No rain that day either, but humidity was high. >wiring harness for your airflow meter that costs $150 that will solve your >problem, I found a way around this harness that cost me 41 cents.

If you are intersested in the airflow >meter fix let me know and I will email the info to you. It has to do with >stablizing the electrical flow between pin 2 and 4 on the airflow meter >connector with a capacitor. This current can become erratic with age. Yes I have read about this wiring harness, but I also read it seem to only applies to 86-90's vanagon with digifant injection not digijet.(?) (Anyone on the list like to enlighten us on that?)But yes Scott, send me this information about the installation of the capacitor,I'll do a little soldering and wiring harness modification to keep from giving VW $150.00, for something they should replaced for free.(Dam Germans) Charles
