Subject:Help Major Surging
From:Stephen Fry
Date:Thu, 19 Jul 2001 08:51:12 -0400

Particulars: 85 Westfalia 1.9 liter

  Problem: Major Surging @ 3200+ rpms, Abnormally high idle at one point
around 1700 rpm

   Fixes: Replaced Idle stabilizer (was having a problem with high idle,
fixed problem) , 22mdf cap fix for Air Sensor, (was having a total
intermittent dropoff in power bu tthis was very rare, believe it is possible
to air temp sensor?) plugs wires cap not more than 6 months.

  Question 1: I believe that it is possible that my old friend is back much
worse. This just happened this morning. Believe it could be the air sensor,
coming off of track at higher rpm? Any other suggestions or fixes for those
of you with similar problems?

Question 2: So I am clear what exactly would happen it temp sensor was
faulty, what would the symptoms be?

Namaste,
Stephen
