Abschnappneigung
- Analog Vorgänger oder besser
This is from the specifications for a new model of a large van. There is no context than the main section title "Anfahrverhalten".
It seems to be a problem that can occur with vans and campers in particular, e.g. here:
http://www.vwbuswelt.de/forum/foren-index/t4-forum/610731-be...
It is also mentioned here with a MB W124

Engine missing
This malfunction takes place during starting the engine as well (poor fuel-air mixture).

Bog down
Usually the engine 'catches' again before it dies completely, thus 'bog down'
