    84 vw rabbit conv. Engine stumbles when accelerating

    Recently repaired my pedal cluster braket, the cluch cable part broke. Now I have issues with the engine staying running. It will run for a min in the morning but once its warmed up as soon as i take my foot off the gas the engine dies. Also the engine stumbles while accelerating and has hardley any power. Almost unable to make it up big hills.

    plugs look good.
    replaced the fuel filter.

    and it's fuel injected.

    Moved to the old farts forum, hey its a good thing.

    Change your grounds engine/tranny to frame and battery to frame.
    Give it a tune up.
    Then check the timing.
    Check for vacuum leaks.

    Is there a loud whine from the rear passenger side wheel arch when you are running?
    What do Divorces, Great Coffee and Cars all have in common?
    They all Start with good GROUNDS.
    Replace all of them that you can, 99 percent of flakiness will disappear.
