more fuel problems



Alright. I wrote earlier about my fuel problems and it has now gotten worse.
I have a bone stock 78 with fuel injection.
When cranking now,it fires and dies.
I got it to hold once and it ran, but when revved up, it spit and 
sputtered as if not getting gas and then would just die back down to 
idle.
sometimes it would rev fine, but the next touch of the accelerator 
and it would spit again.
I replaced the fuel filter, cause it needed it.
Most seemed tothing the fuel accumulator is the biggest problem.
Alright, where do I find one.
The nearest VW dealer to me says they don't carry them anymore, but 
if they did, it is around 200 bucks.
Where can I find one and find it cheaper.
Or convince me that I shouldn't just scrap the whole system and put on carbs.
You can trust a carb. Kind of like a carrot...like carlin used to 
say....You can trust a carrot.
I like the car, but this damned fuel injection is pissing me off.
Help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also a line on thefuel accumulator, or a place where I can get a carb 
and manifold for this beast.
Again
TIA
