t3 surge and stop
my t3 van has a surge problem.when at operating temp and idling the revs will die and come back [this takes about 5-10 secs] about 3 or 4 times a
minute.when driving around town sometimes when you put your foot down to accelarate it will pause for a couple of seconds and then go. i am only
guessing that these 2 conditions have the same cause. any suggestions. also any suggestions on a good repair manual. thanks in advance

i should ask what motor are you using this is for a 2.1 water cooled
it should be fitted in the cat just before the muffler and it looks like a round plug with 2 wires comming out they should be changed every 100000
klm's it controls your fuel computer telling it how to measure the fuel in and can cause all kinds of trouble and there is no way i know of testing
them

mm long. it is as if it was put in to replace something ? can you recomend a supplier for a new sensor? any ideas on price?thanks again

surge and stop
johny rotten,thanks for the input.this arvo after work i checked the intake system joints that are visibible in the engine bay.they all look like they
are properly fitted together,square and not crooked,feel tight, and then i sprayed them lightly one at a time with aerostart.wonderful stuff.there was
no change in engine speed .i guess that rules them out but it was good to check them .

looks lioke the ignition timing is way too far advanced..the ecu compensates and retards the system..to chechk timing disconnect water temp senor
disconnect a yellow plug with green wire at the fire wall engine should rev up and set the timing mark on the crankcase join....this is only one
suggestion with little info to hand hope it helps you can u2u me for some further suggestions cheers steve

If he is a learner i would not suggest the worst case scenario.
And i am pretty certain but the ecu does what it does and if it aint broke dont fix it, this only applies to the ecu. Not this is not my
philosphy.
Clarity in question. Check as suggested the O2 sensor about 98 bucks with lanyard from Repco mob. If this is not answer to prob, have a look at the
throttle body and check to see the throttle position sensor's location. Depending where this is set can and does have adverse affects on one's
vanagon, when in conjuction with air sensor/regulator at the air intake box.. Confusing i understand; try writing it.
Happy hunting
Keep the steering and the propulsion seperate . Still a Kombi...
It's all good, until it's bad, i suppose

Coil will be showing evidence at startup, yeh? Could be the prob though, i was thinking about the description of " when you put your foot down it
will pause for a couple of seconds and then go". Sounds more like fuel than electrics. But as thes are the only two things that will make it run like
a hairy goat or beetle on steriods depending on the end of the scale. I could almost think TasDub could be heading in the general direction of
troubleshooting your T3.
