If any of your vacuum hoses or slightly cracked or worn, now is a good time to replace them and perform another vacuum check to make sure there aren't any more vacuum leaks. > Second Issue: I have pulled the plug wires one by one with the engine > running. #1 no discernable change, #2 and #3 seem to be firing correctly, #4 > there is a small change. Connect a tach to the engine while disconnecting the wires one at a time. Note the specific drop in RPMs. Sometimes it may seem like the RPMs change but with a rough idle, you need to know for certain. Take the wires off one at a time and then replace them two or three times and all. Verify that any changes in RPM are specific to THAT cylinder and not because of a rough idle. >I then proceeded to the fuel injector plugs, same > results as with the plug wires.

Sorry, but Sanity and 35 year old Volkswagens do not mix well together. You may want to review your head for leaks before driving your VW again. (uh, your real head, not those on the engine).
