jetta is fixed, sort of.(was mk1s should i trade)



List,

Whell, i got my GLI back from the shop yesterday.  It ended up costing me 
$300.  The problem ended up being the injectors.  They were stuck shut.  
there was zero gas going through them.  I guess that the car sat for 8 
months before i bought it, the guy lost his licence.  = bad gass clogging 
fuel system.  It was nearly 6 hrs of labor cost at 50hr to find out that it 
was the injectors.  they basicly rechecked all of the things that i had 
checked instead of going to the injectors, and pressure regulator.  oh 
whell, shit happens.  MY problem is, the car is not totally fixed.  It 
finally runs and all, but it has no power.  I can only use like 1/4 of my 
pedal, if i give it more, it cuts out,and or shutters.  I think that i may 
be able to get some new wires, and trash my shitty NGK plugs for  some bosch 
ones, and it should be fine.  I swiced one plug wire that i noticed was 
arching to the head, and it helped.  I looked at the mk1 S again.  The 
dammage really isn't as bad as i thought, but the car does have some rust on 
it.  It is infact an S, model, it is cirris greay metalic, it has a BLUISH 
tint to the paint, not green like i thought.  The worst part about the car, 
is that the factory S spoiler is broken on the right side.  I think that i 
will have to pass this one up.  But if anyone knows of a clean cirris greay 
metalic S for sale, let me know!  Thanks, just thought i would update people 
on this subject.
