Is there a general loss of power, or just a momentary loss while it sputters? Have you checked your gas tank overflow hose? (If this is broken you can get water in the gas tank when you drive on wet roads.) Have you done any of the normal tune-up things (dwell, timing, valve adjustment) and did any of this help? Have you checked the fuel pressure or the charging system regulating voltage? Next time this happens, just turn the key OFF and back ON while in motion and in gear and let the engine restart itself. See if it is better after this. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
