|
|
I just installed the mass airflow filter from GoWesty to resolve what I believed to be vanagon syndrome and now my van won't accelerate and it sputters at idle. When I press on the gas, the engine doesn't rev and it will barely idle- sometimes not at all. My fuel delivery seems fine but I'm thinking there could be a vacuum leak in the intake boot? Any hot tips? |

What is a mass airflow filter? What year is your van? _________________ '86 Syncro Westy SVX |

You may have knocked another vacuum line off where it's not readily visible. Sounds like vacuum. _________________ 85 Vanagon GL Westy GW 2.2 (Rebuilt by YT)

I've tried a rebuilt AFM from busdepot, My 85 would almost stall out when taking off in 1st. I tried every thing to get it to run, put my old AFM back in TGI kept it, and it cleared right up. Took the rebuilt back for a new tent. I think those rebuilt ones are a hit and miss. Good luck |
