> Hi,
> My daily driver, a 92 Jetta Carat, 8V 1.8 L crapped out today. I had driven about 35 highway miles in snow sleet and hail. I had gone about 1 mile off the highway. At a stop light the car stalled. I could start it but it would just barely chug along. I was able to start it after about 1/2 hr. The car then went 1/2 mile and died again. I filled the gas tank. The car did start but would just fade right down. After a while I got it to keep running at 3000 RPM. It would then idle. I drove another 30 highway miles got off at home and the same again.

That's what I would think.  Either that, or the main pump.  Definately sounds like fuel delivery is suffering...
