Got a problem with a 16v Jetta 88. It seems when it heats up driving on hot days in the city or hard driving on the highway it starts to studder and eventually shuts down. After it cools it restarts and the process starts all over again.

Any noise from the fuel pumps?
One possible solution is that the transfer pump is dead.

Strange symptoms, yes, I know, but for some reason those pumps don't like being hot when they're on their way out.
