Re: '84 GTI cold running problem

[eric chase person <eperson@students.uiuc.edu>]

injector o-rings or maybe cold start sensor?
ive got a similar problem on my 86 16v and i think its the o-rings
when the engine warms up they expand and it runs good but they leak when
its cold and it runs like crap.  Its a good place to start anyway.  Its
not very expensive and easy to do.
