Do it, it's going to turn out to be one of three things (off the top of 
my head);

- Wrong Fuel to Air ratio

- Air Leak (leads to above.)

- Something is gunked up (air by pass type valve; eq of an old timey 
'choke')

The Jetta makes for a decent people mover/grocery getter and has a 
voluminous trunk- lot's of dead body storage.


Hmmm, the 91 didn't get a 2.0 16v here in the States;

So is this a Canadian car (and?)/or a Hybrid?
