Hi
I have a 1984 GTI Rabbit. This morning the car started fine then died after about 5 seconds. It started right back up and then it died a few seconds later.
So I started it a 3rd time. this time I held my foot into the gas pedal a bit and it started and ran at about 2000 rpm. I held it there, after about
10 seconds it dropped down to about 1800 rpm then after another 5-10 seconds it dropped down to about 1500 rpm, and with time slowly the rpm came down. I just took my foot off the gas and let it die.
So I think it might be fuel related. The fuel pump is ok as I put a new one in a few months ago. I have a funny feeling it is the warm up pressure regulator. And I have a few spares as I've owned 3 rabbits a 1980 then a
1977 now the 1984 gti. I think I might just swap the warm up pressure regulator as it only takes 15 minutes. And if that doesn't work start troubleshooting from there.
Anything else I should look at? I will inspect all electrical and vacuum connections too.
Thanks
