Re: 2.1 dj. Sudden stall, very low tick-over, no power.

Might sound dumb but I ended up replacing most of my injection system and ignition components before finding that the fuel tank was full of rust. Van didn't misfire but just had no power, I checked fuel flow and seemed ok but in desperation I replaced the nearly new fuel filter and then sectioned th...

Petrol injector cleaning

Anybody got experience of getting injectors cleaned? -I've found adverts for ultrasonic cleaning/refurbishment. One of the injectors on my 2.1 DJ is leaking 6 drops every minute v's maximum recommended of 2 drops/min.

DJ Misfire

Struggling to solve bad misfire on 2.1 DJ engine. In Vanagon posts and manuals tells you how to check the Hall control unit but it shows diffrent methods for an AEG or Fairchild unit. Mine is a Siemens unit - nyone know how to check a Siemens Hall Control Unit?

When I say flooding I mean FLOODING! It won't even start, turn it over three or four times and the plugs are saturated. The temp sensors check put ok for resistance but I'll try shorting out and see what effect it has. The injectors don't weep when turn ignition (and so injection pump on) but been t...

2.1 DJ flooding

As soon as you start cranking its flooding, and not a little bit. I've got a Vanagon manual on CD and I've worked...
