Hey all. This is in effect a NON-Rocco post. I figure seeing how I am a
member of the list, and could easily have said it was my Rocco....but why
bother right?? It is still a request for mechanical knowledge and expertise
on a JH. I just picked up a 1984 GTI which was a really good deal,
but........it idles just fine (after readjusting the timing belt and timing)
but once I even so much as breath on the gas pedal...it sputters and misses
really bad!!! (this is only when cold and up to the almost warm stage) So, I
replaced the injector seals, seems to have helped, but not a whole lot. I
sprayed under the hood for vacuum leaks and none popped up. Now, this is
where I am a little stumped. I am pretty much at the end of my ideas on
this, so, barring any flames for this NOT being a Rocco.....can anyone help
me. This GTI could well help me preserve my Rocco for the warm sunny months,
not the shovelling, "that pile of snow IS my CAR?!?!?" months.....get me??
Thanks peoples.
