Bad computer?

[Eddie.V.N]

Hey i have a 87 vanagon camper, but it has just recently started to "die out" on the road when driving. this happens very rarely, but when it does it feels like its running out of gas. so i will pull over and turn the key to off and then to start, and she will fire right up again and all will be well for a week or so. i have been thinking it might be a issue with something getting hot because it usually happens during a fairly long drive. any help would be much appreciated.

I did this fix and it's been all good for 2 years. But I put it on the plug/harness side, that way if I ever have to replace my AFM the fix is still there.
