HELP!! Does anyone know of a good VW mechanic in the Orange County, CA area? Have a '71 Fastback. Engine rebuilt, new tranny, new electrical, new fuel lines, new tires, new muffler, new oil pump. FI inspected and some needed parts replaced. Had been running perfect. Getting 22mpg on freeway. Driving 30 mi each way 5 days a week. When leaving work the other day. Wouldn't start. Checked engine compartment. Connection to control unit disconnected. Now thinks its flooded from trying to start. Wait awhile, starts right up but now timing sounds off, back fires. Husband tinkers, checks vacuum something-or-other and resets timing-Car seems to be running smooth & strong. Start on commute home and almost there when I hear a clicking noise that seems to be coming from under the dash somewhere? Car starts acting like its choking...sputtering. Never died, but when clicking noise is heard, car sputters. Idles good at stops but sputters in any gear. Any ideas? Sonya
