I have a VW Vanagon Campmovil 1987, 2.1 liter water cooler, the problem is it stars good and starts to run good for 5 min or less, and it starts to loose power and the engine dies. I start it again and it runs good for 5 or 6 min and do the same thing, the engine dies.
I already change the spark plug and spark plug wire, the Distributor cap and the rotor, and fule filte,
I will make a donetion if you helpme fix my problem.
Thanks

I have 13 Vanagon's (I Love them) I think I have experienced just about every problem, it sounds to me like the computer may be overheating and shutting down on the ignition if you still need help let me know I will tell you what to do
