Hello Vdubs fanatics !!! I love VDubs just as much as you guys do but when problems comes its always good to share these issues with people that love these cars as much as i do !! I own a mk3 golf 2.0 I did a tuned up to it by changin all the electricals like the spark plug wires and spark plugs the coil and the cap rotor as well The problem is that my car still feel like the gas is not going through and it chokes all the time i even change the gas filter but still cant get what it is Any of you guys may have an idea of whats going on ?

I'd have a similar problem. Picked up a 98 2.0. It was running a bit rough and the valve cover gasket had to be changed. So I cleaned out intake plenum and changed the injector rings since it was right there. Now the car doesn't start. Cranks and cranks fine, but never catches. So I pulled out a plug to see if there's fuel in the cylinder, and there's none. I'm wondering if its the fuel pump not building pressure in the lines.

sounds like a fuel delivery problem. check the fuel pressure at idle and then rev the engine up to 3000rpm and check for a drop in pressure. if there isn't one i've come across clogged exhaust systems that will have the same symptoms. if the fuel pressure drops, replace the pump and sending unit.

yea i agree it does sound like a fuel delivery problem. check the fuel pressure. Is there any oil on the plugs or plug wires? if there is it could be making them short out.
