Re: 16V problems (non-roc)

["VW FREAK" <farmracer@mindspring.com>]

it seems I have solved my 16V problems- I went to radio shack and bought a
can of contact cleaner that has deoxidents in it, and sprayed that stuff on
every terminal in every plug of the fuel injection system and ignition,
using the attached little brush. I test drove the car last night. it ran
better than it has ever run, no symptoms. I have had no symptoms driving to
and from work and to and from lunch today. It runs nearly perfect.
Pretty cool that I can fix stalling, uneven idle, cutting out and lack of
revs with a $9 bottle of electrics cleaner. hopefully this fix is lasting!!!
