Yah, I know!! Not only that, I cant seem to figure out my own rough
idle/missing while at a low throttle setting problem myself. Its wierd! I
replaced my fuel relay, thought it worked until I drove it further than
-just- around the block. it reacted exactly as it had before, only this
time it was a little more severe. 

Then last night, I went to pick up my kid from work and the thing wouldnt
start. I couldnt hear the fuel pump run so being that it was 1:am, I
hopped into the GLi and went and got him.

Today, I go out, check a few things and I find im not getting voltage to
the fuel pump. I put 12V power to the pump and it runs. (Not very good,
but it runs. its the origional 15yr old pump!) 
So, I know there was a problem with V supply. 

Popped the hood and what do I find? Well nothing but the connector to the
fuel control pressure regulator was busted and not connected. Replaced
the connector and now it runs again, just like before. 

Additional info (Just in case somebody is actually gonna think about my
little problem) is that at higher RPM, it still has either an electrical
miss or its fuel related. At full throttle, it pulls strong. Its run like
this and has gradually gotten worse and worse for the last 6 months or
so. 

Some days it runs without any notice of a problem, and others its kinda
bad. I thought it was prone to higher air temps causing the problem. Im
pretty short on cash at the moment so buying the needed new fuel pump is
out of the question. Anybody got a decent used pump they would want to
trade for a Scirocco Shirt??  : ) 
In addition to that, I also need the fuel accumulator since mine is
leaking from the little flat tip screw on the back side. (What the hell
does that thing do, anyways??)
HYCH!!
(Hope You Can Help)
