Hello,

I thought I'd write to the list about this.  My van is getting around
18mpg and everything seems fine.  The power is all there and all seems
to work fine.  I drove it to VT for school and when you get up to around
60mph or more it starts to give this sluggish stutter and if you take it
out of gear it idels between 1000 and 1500 very jumpy idel..but then the
idel will calm down and all will be ok for awhile.  The other thing is I
noticed that if im going uphill and keep my foot on the gas its normally
ok but if I let up just a little it'll start acting all crazy and make
me slow down.  The van does not do this unless the engine is warm.  I
took it to town the other day and once it warmed and I was moving at
about 50mph it started doing it.  This is  only an intermittent problem
because it will go away for an hr at a time.

Things I checked were gas which was all good....and my mpg which seems
to be fine.  All gages seem to be reading right and oil is very clean.
I did check the O2 sensor..it was unplugged so I plugged the wire back
together but it did not fix the problem.  Any suggestions of what to
check?

Does anyone know a good VW mechanic in the upper VT area..Im in Johnson
..so basically Montpillier and up?

Thank you
Tim G
