Have you checked the throttle cable to see if it moves freely and goes through its full range of motion. When I replaced the cable on my 87 gas vanagon it was...
The throttle shaft on the pump tends to stick too. I have to pull off the bellcrank, spring and associated stuff and clean it up and lubricate it periodically...
Thanks for responding. The former owner had the throttle cable removed from the eng when he started it for me. He also had the bellcrank and springs removed...
There are two possibilities: 1. Injection pump: check throttle cable tension and low idle position (the bolt on top of the pump that makes the stop for the...

I have the same motor, and have 180k miles on it. Had the same problems for a bit, then they went away. I cleaned the electric connections, and that seamed...

Yes, I am planning a TDI conversion myself, just trying to patch up the wassercrapper until I can arrange to have it done ... - FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM! ...
Volks I am getting ready for my Tri-Star to come over from Sweden. It is a great truck with a bad transmission 3/4 Synchromesh problem. First, some back...
David, I have the same problem on my ’87 Westy your problem might be the same. Foreign objects could have gotten into your tank or your tank as mine could be...
Hey thanks for the info, I had noticed a ding in my tank and wondering if the internal screening was damaged. I have had the noisey pump problem since I bought...
Hello David. On my tdi conversion I have the tallest 3rd and 4th gear from Weddle. The big jump from 2nd to 3rd was only getting my attention at first. Now...
David, the tank at VW costs over $400.00 there is one that you can get from Taiwan $169.00 but it was not recommended by anybody I talked to. Kai On Thu, 2 Oct...
I assume you started with a AAN transmission? What ratios are your 3rd and 4th gears? David Marshall Fast Forward Automotive Inc. 4356 Quesnel-Hixon Road ...
In my regular vanagon I have a 1.14 3rd and a .70 4th. the only gear change to my syncro is a .70 top gear. My vans only pull light loads. william ... ...
Do you find this to be a big jump between third and fourth? Have you ever driven a 1.14 / 0.77 equipped van? What size tires and R+P are you using? Thanks! ...
No David, the jump between 3rd and 4th seems natural to me. I have a 4.57 r&p with 205 14inch tires on alloy wheels. It is questionable if I could go to 15 ...
Hi folks! Here is what I've discovered: throttle level and low idle stop have a gap. I removed air filter and there was no indication of oil going into intake....
At 55 and 65mph in 4th, what is your RPM? What is your fastest 'comfortable' speed in 3rd? David Marshall Fast Forward Automotive Inc. 4356 Quesnel-Hixon Road ...
Robert, If the pump lever is at low idle - it has to touch the low idle stop - and does not react if you turn the low idle stop further out - with lever ...
The engine rpm at any given speed in any gear can calculated readily. The tire revs per mile, gear ratio, and r+p ratio are all that is needed. assuming...
Sorry, I must admit lack of sophistication on the rpm's, having no tach. If I am climbing a steep hill in 3rd I will run the van at 45 mph. Temp guage always ...
thanks for the calculations. the Rpms for my vehicle would be slightly lower since I have a .70 top gear but the formula remains the same. I wish I had access...
