Ok guys, Here's the scoop on my 91 Jetta GTX 2.0l 16V. Its hesitating a bit in the low RPMs, accelerates well through 3000-6000RPM and slowly accelerates through 6000-7000RPM. The car has good pull, but my 89 Jetta GTX 1.8l 16V pulls a lot harder. The 89 Jetta is @ 12deg advanced timing and richened fuel mixture.
On the 91 I changed... New Beru Super-X plugs, Beru cap, Beru rotor, old plug wires passed the water test (w/o arcing), replaced vacuum lines, cleaned all electrical contacts, changed thermo switch, new fuel filter, ATE 10.1" w/ Mintex Redbox pads, German Rear Disks w/ Mintex Redbox pads, master cylinder set the timing to 6deg advanced, I don't think the fuel mixture was ever adjusted because the rivet is still on the Fuel Distributor. Its still leaking fuel around the fuel pump, I think it needs a new O-Ring (possibly a fuel box), Running a bit hot (120C or 248F oil temps), Temp gauge reads 2/3 (two-thirds). The car stalled twice on me today, I didn't notice that it even stalled until I hit the gas. Everything else feels fine on the car. I think changing the Thermostat and doing a coolant flush along with an oil change (Mobil 1 Synth 20W/50) will cool the engine down a bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark Reda. 91 Jetta GTX 2.0l 16V 89 Jetta GTX 1.8l 16V (For Sale) _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
