I'm having problems with my 90 golf. It started bogging down one day, it was cold so I thought it might be water in the gas, so I added a bottle of antifreeze. It ran fine then. 3 days later the car died completely while driving on the highway. I played with wires and vacume lines for about an hour before it started up again. 3 days later it died again, hasn't run since.
I test the coil, replaced the plug wires, checked the plugs, replaced the vacume lines, replaced the fuel filter. I can hear the in tank fuel pump turning, and ran power to the external fuel pump and it turns fine. I jump the ground straight to the battery, and now the car starts for 3 secs. and dies, appling gas pedal just kills it faster.
I'm thinking about the pressure regulator, but i'm not sure where it is or how to test it. I don't have tools to test actual pressure, and $150 Cdn is a little steep for something that may or maynot be the problem.
Any ideas, is there any way to check it.
