John, I had an '89 Jetta that had similar symptoms. The cure for that car was a bottle of Autobaun Injector Cleaner every few months. (this fix was recommended by the VW parts counter guy when I went in to price an air flow meter that was recommended by the mechanic at a local garage) The problem was gone after 1/2 tank of fuel. I am sure other fuel system cleaners would work as well. |
