sorry i didnt get back on here last night, dont have a computer at home, but wound up sticking a piece of the old vacuum hose in the hole where the screw went and plugged the open end of that with a regular screw. just a band-aid to get me home, but it worked well. scarily well actually, car idled r...

Brian, thanks for the info about the high idle on the 92. I replaced all the vacuum lies like you said. When i got home last night, the car started spitting and sputtering, idle still surged, but dropped down to about 500 rpm and kept stalling out. was late and have no garage so didnt get to check t...

havent checked plugs, havent been able to get back to car with tools. been borrowing vehicles for a few days, but hope will check it out tonight

i honestly have no idea what to even listen for when the fuel pumps prime. all the cars ive worked on in the past have had mech. fuel pumps (aircoolds). not sure if this has anything to do with the issue either, but about ten minutes before it cut out, i put air in the right rear tire. 100 yards up ...

no whine from anywhere, havent had a chance to check plugs yet, died at night, and havent had a chance to get back with tools. was just coming back to this to post more info after reading another thread. the last couple weeks the car has gotten sluggish after driving it for about 30 miles or so, as ...

hi, all, was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on diagnosing a starting/running issue with my 92. kind of new to wcvw's (always had ac). Here goes...
