Used to be that one of my vanagon's deepest, darkest secrets was the occasional need to "hiccup"  (cough, cough) while tooling along down the road, minding it's own business.  It usually happens when going over a big bump in the road, a dreaded Maine leftover winter frostheave or springtime bottomless-pit-all-consuming pothole.  The usual treatment, which seems to work, is to change the sparkplugs, which eliminates the problem until the next time it happens.

Recently spied a reference to someone else citing the "dreaded vanagon hiccup" on an internet web site, which suggests to me that this may be more a common problem than I initially realized.    

Wonder if there are any other vanagon drivers willing to come out of the closet concerning this issue?

And, more significantly, what might be done (cough, cough) to eliminate the problem.
