SV: Heats up shuts down



Hi

>>Got a problem with a 16v Jetta 88.  It seems when it heats up driving on hot days in the city or hard driving on the highway it starts to studder and eventually shuts down.  After it cools it restarts and the process starts all over again.  >>

Bad fuel pump gives this behavior. The fuel gets heated up and the hotter the fuel gets the harder it is for the pump too maintain pressure, eventually pressure gets too low.

Been there, done that
