We tow a 82VW Rabbit 4 wheels down and it workd great.
The VW runs great , after its warm, but that first 2 or three min , during the "first cold start" is a big pain.
Sounds like its flooding , even though I checked and replaced the air valve.
Constant cranking with a floored throttle will get it running on a cylinder or two , then it ROARS, only to stall again.
IF I catch it at the end of a roar , floor it , it will again run on a few cylinders , missing and stumbeling , but it gets better with each start.
This has the CIS fuel injection, if it only had a carb , I wouldnt be hoping for help.
Anyone else have an idea where to start??
I have replaced all vacum hoses and cleaned all the electric contacts I can find.
Car also shows upshift arrow in 4th , as added symptom.
MY local garage says go to VW , but they would cost more than this car is worth.
Hate to scrap a great TOWD that gets 33 mpg on gas, and runs great , but if the bride cant get it running with out me , out it has to go.
