Re: '84 GTI cold running problem

["John Van Vuren" <veedublu@prod.net>]

I would guess that maybe you have an injector that's leaking....  so when
you turn the car off, that individual injector line loses it's pressure.
So, upon restarting the car (after it sits awhile) it takes a bit to get
fuel back to the injector.  I know this is common on diesel VW's, and I'm
convinced it happens with gas ones too
