Started about 2 months. Brought to mechanic and diagnostic test said knock sensor and something about stuck cylinder. It was like riding a mechanical bull on Friday, and finally stopped running. After an hour it would start up again. Told it may be the knock sensor along with a clogged fuel injector.
Its the distributor.

To fix the knock sensor, they have to take apart half the engine (not the exhaust) to get to it and it takes about 4 hours.

The knock sensor is never bad and it costs @ $500 to change. Have to remove top half of engine. I suspect you need to clean the optical cam sensor under the distributor cap or change the oxygen sensor. Here is a site where we help each other with Villager Qust problems.
Look in files for answers.

you may need to use a high octane gas to clean your injectors and replace the inline gas filter as this should cure the problem. On the wiper blades that is more than likeley the relay switch that is connected to them it should be located near the firewall on the driverside.
