Well, got it fixed - thanks to all who replied.  Turns out my coil was corroded badly, very badly.. Replaced that, did the timing, and that was basically it - runs better than it ever did..  wooo hooo

  Sounds like you've gotten a great start.  Don't forget all the electrical checks described in the Bentley...

    Thanks, I kinda gave it a half-assed tune up (plugs,oil,filter,coolant,thermostat,thermo-switch,checked for air leaks, cleaned and checked sensor plate, checked air regulating valve).

      Phil-
        Give the car a complete tune-up, ala Bentley.
      That is step #1.

        Hello everybody,
            
            It's been a while since I've been on the list, I have a problem with my rocco but first a little about me.  My name is Phil Miron, I live in Winnipeg, Canada - I am  years old and have an '84 Scirocco.
            I have recently tried to get it back on the road, and fixed a few probs but now it runs really bad, when cold and warm.  It idles rough and when I give it gas it hesitates, then stalls.  I have been going through the Bently racking my brain with tests, and still no luck, does anyone know where I could start - a systematic approach?

        Thanks,
        Phil
