Subject:84 Vanagon shutting off. Cranks right back up? V-Syndrome?
From:Michael McSwain

Hello all,

On my way from NC to DC with my baby momma and I'm having some issues with
my van shutting down for no reason.  I'll be driving at highway speeds with
no problems and out of the blue it's as if I just turned the key off. I
push the clutch in, wait a second for the rpm's to go down, and then crank
it right back up and everything seems fine. Until it does it again an hour
later. And in between these full shutdowns, I will experience random losses
of power. Very brief. Almost as if I took my foot off of the gas and then
back on as quick as I can.

Any ideas?  Are these the symptoms of vanagon syndrome?

Thanks for any help on this. I am a little nervous that at some point it's
going to shut off and NOT crank back up.

Michael...
