Vanagon concerns / power loss

« on: August 08, 2007, 05:39:37 PM »

after driving a 84 vanagon thru the US for 3 months, a spark plug cable failed and had to be replaced. since then (a month ago) the van has 30-40% less power and two mechanics have no idea what could be the cause. any ideas?



thx, thilo
