1982 Vanagon FI Non-Cali
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2019 4:50 pm
Have an issue and I need your help!
1982 Vanagon Non-California, Fuel injected named Lolo, Colin you worked on it 2 years ago in Naples FL, the crankshaft was put in 180degrees off
This is the issue which I can't replicate so its an intermitted problem. Heres what happens
Drive the van for 30min on highway 55-60mph
Park the van let it sit for 20-25min then leave to go
Van starts I drive off to take off in 1st 2nd then couple mins later van cuts out and dies (CHT@270-290deg)
Try to restart turns but doesn't crank over
Let the van sit for a while
Might start might not,
but if it starts I try to drive,
if I stay in lower gears it will die,
if I can get up to higher speed like HWY it will run no problem
This has happened a couple of times, I replaced Temp2 sensor, didn't work, I check for vacuum leaks, have none, I checked grounds all good. I checked the connection on AFM all good as far as I can tell. replaced coil
We seem to think its an electrical thing and heat but I don't know and don't know what else I should check so if you can help me PLease I need it
once the van cools down it starts right up and I can drive it
