New development, the 87 GTI 16V ran rough with no power when started cold last week. Over the weekend, it was discovered that when running rough it can be shut off and when instantly started again, it runs fine. Shut it off, restart and it runs rough. Tach jumps to 5K when idling rough. Swapped ignition modules with no effect.
