Subject:      Re: engine stopping (thanks)

I wanted to pass on my thanks to all of those who responded so quickly to my
stalling plight.  I just discovered after reading through the previous
owners service records that this is a repeat problem.  The previous owner
spent hundreds of dollars at Eero VW in Juneau on a new coil, and
alternator.  It appears that they did a lot of disconnecting and
reconnecting of wires.  The service report says that the problem occurs when
the car is "wet".  This is exactly what happened to me.  It was pouring on
the day of the shut down, preceeded by several days of unusually sunny and
warm weather where I had no evidence of a problem.  I do not know if this
additional clue helps isolate the problem further, but I think you have
pointed me in the right directon with the air flow meter, fuel filter and
possible shorts.

You folks are great
