Hi,
My daily driver, a 92 Jetta Carat, 8V 1.8 L crapped out today. I had driven
about 35 highway miles in snow sleet and hail. I had gone about 1 mile off the
highway. At a stop light the car stalled. I could start it but it would just
barely chug along. I was able to start it after about 1/2 hr. The car then went
1/2 mile and died again. I filled the gas tank. The car did start but would
just fade right down. After a while I got it to keep running at 3000 RPM. It
would then idle. I drove another 30 highway miles got off at home and the same
again.
My first 2 thoughts were that it was wet, or the transfer pump is going. Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
John
