Help! My 74 bug that i drive about once a month has started having a new problem. It starts well & runs well at idle & at speed. The last time i drove the car a month ago i noticed a miss under fast acceleration in say 4th. At that time it seemed more like the clutch slipping. Today a foggy moist day I am feeling the miss again under hard acceleration in high rpm's in most every gear & a bogging as i slow down in gear. The new big problem is that the engine stalls once you prepare to stop. I am sure the problem is fuel or ignition related but i can't seem to get a handle on it. I just checked the points with a dwell & the timing. they are spot on. Any ideas? Bad points or condenser or coil? Bad gas or fuel pump? The car is tuned & in fine shape just not driven much. With between about an 1/8th to 1/4 tank of gas could water condense in the lines or tank cause this problem in a couple of months? Thanks guys!
