Converting the engine in a 1990 Vanagon from stock to a Ford 2.0 liter Zetec engine, using the project kit and support supplied by Bostig, Inc. (www.bostig.com). This blog was started in case anyone wanted information about the actual conversion. I'm not sure anyone does, though.

Stalling update
Well, it isn't the speed sensor. I jacked up the driver's side rear wheel, and spun it while watching the Elmscan. The MPH dial registers off the speed sensor and worked just fine. So, back to troubleshooting.
Bummer, are you getting any codes on the Elmscan? You might check the IAC per "Engine Preparation Checklist: Intake Side of the engine - Remove hoses connected to the Intake manifold nipples. Except for the lines to the Fuel pressure transducer and the PCV. - Remove the Cam cover Breather hose - Remove the Throttle cable if it is attached to the throttle body - Remove the Bracket on the sub crank case which held the axel in place - Remove the lift hook and trim or bend the perpendicular portion off/out of the way, and reinstall lift hook - Check version of Fuel rail harness plug - Remove grounding strap from lift hook if present - Remove IAC - Inspect IAC o-ring for degradation - Inspect IAC actuation by hand and lube with WD40 while checking to make sure it moves freely - Reinstall IAC onto the Intake with the o-ring in place"

Also you might want to check your brake booster line, a vacuum leak at the manifold might cause this.
