[Vwdiesel] stalling, lack of power

I haven't quite got it yet; I replaced the o ring underneath
the plastic piece that sits atop the fuel filter. I inspected 
the plastic piece(name?) carefully and it looked whole and
intact. I cuta half inch off the factory fuel hose and used
new clamps. The symptoms just don't seem electrical to me.
I lose power and the engine dies; I crank for awhile and it restarts.
These symptoms continue intermittently for about thirty  minutes
and then seem to go away.  I'm thinking that when some part or other
fully warms up a tiny leak or crack is sealed and no air then gets
into the line to the injection pump.  My next move is to get some
clear line in to replace the black factory stuff and verify that
there is indeed air in the lines. Thanks for your input and offer
of assistace.
