My '86 NA Jetta has begun developing some sad symptoms. Starts right up.
Idles fine, but high idle has an intermittent non regular miss. When driving,
she jerks a little and seems to lack a bit of power until she is fully warm.
The symptoms last until after the water temp is at it normal op temp, but go
away after 5 min or so. After that she drives like the little car I know and
love. The problem has gotten progressively worse over the last month. My
guess: busted compression ring, faulty injector, burnt out glow plug (not really
likely to me, as I would think it would not idle as well, and even out faster),
problem with pump. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome.
