it out, they narrowed it down to the computer.  So, the guy told me to give
it back to him cuz he felt bad I guess and he gave me a hell of a deal on my

babbling!  :-)  


Why youuuu!!! :)
I just test drove an 88' Jetta GLi that did the same thing, cut out a 4,000
rpms.. I suspect its either a bad distributor cap/rotor, coil or its in the
fuel system, I-E, clogged fuel injector. Worse case scenereo is its got bad
rings. But since you say it cleared up, it was probable a temporary clogg in
an injector. Try and duplicate the problem. 
The Jetta I drove was a 16V, and I wasnt impressed. 
If your blowing fuses on your fan, you need to chase the wiring down and see
if you got a short somewhere. thats the only reason you pop fuses. Thats why
there are fuses, keeps your car from burning to its axles!
Well, im off to look at a built 86'
Cabrolet........................L8R..........
