Big Sky Euro

my rabbit is being retarded. i cant get it to run right at all. all she does is ping and pop alot. tried to check timing but no luck. something is off and i dont know what. it seems like a fuel issue cuz when i first start her she will run ok for a while. then just die. and i try to restart her and she fires every once in a while and will eventualy start, but just runs like crap. any ideas?

Is it CIS?

Its the car telling you its time for a 1.8T or VR6 swap

Without seeing it and hearing it - its hard to tell.

yea is CIS. but soon digi2. just bought a setup for a mk2 golf 8v. should be at my door step in a week or 2.

It could be something as simple as bad or old plugs - I had a Honda MC that was really picky out what plugs I was running and was really cold-blooded. That's not usual for a VW though...

yea, she has new plugs, cap, rotor, wires, points, and coil. so i know its a fuel issue. but $125 and a week or 2 and problem solved

Better get er dun before the YNP cruise...

well i got it runnin....... somewhat. im gonna cruze out to my dads in clancy and pull some parts off the rocco. i know the warm up reg is good on the rocco so ill give that a try. im hoping this will be it. but for now im still stuck without a car althou i do get to drive my moms 82 4 door rabbit

well i just got done with the head gasket sooooooo maybe this will help. i started her up with out the downpipe bolted up and she ran really well. so maybe i just need new exaust :?: but im gonna head down to the hardware store for some vacume fittings. does anyone know what vacume tubes i can actualy remove? my rocco only had one for the dist. and brake booster. but its a 1.8 JH and this is some little 1.5. so im not sure. any help is apriciated.

thanks
Kevin

Notice any funny smells? Maybe a bit like sulfur? If so your cat is clogged.
