YI agree. I not exactly sure if it is the fuel pump. I've had the same
problem with a few cars and its always been the feul pump. But seeing that
it's an 88 it really wouln't hurt to get a new one anyway.

Maybe it's the pump in the gas tank that's on the fritz. Happened to me
and the car would stall after starting. This is because it is starving
for fuel.

hi, i was wondering if you could help me with a little problem w/ my
gli. its not been starting. i dont know how to describe it, it turns
over, but wont start up. it did this for like 3 days after i first got
it and it just started doing it again yesterday. its weird cause i
would try it like 5-6 times, let it sit, then go out a half hour later
and it would start up. today it took forever to. and when it did, it
acted like it wanted to shut off, but i kept revving it so it wouldnt.
then i took it for a drive and every time i would reach like 3000 rpm it
seemed like it lost power. and thats always when i try to shift, but
its never done that before. pretty much after i got through all 5 gears,
it didn't act like that again. the last time its done this, i got it
started and took it over to my boyfriends house, since he knows pretty
much everything about volkswagens, and he left it sit over night...but
the next morning he tried and it started right up for him. and i think
it only did it one other time after that. my boy doesn't know what it
could be. they replaced the rotor and dist cap and i think 2 spark
plugs, when i got it. i know nothing about cars, and i just wanted
someone elses opinion of what it could be. i'll probably end up just
taking it to a mechanic. my dad tried it and he thinks it could be
electrical. i almost think that its my 5th injector. since it only
acts like this when i first try to start it in the day. its never done
it twice after its been started.
its an 88, so i dont know if that has anything to do w/ it. it also
only has like 109 km on it. if you can give me anything, that would be
great. thank you for taking the time to read this. and anything that
you can tell me would be great. thanks again.
Tami
