>My 88 scirocco 16v is still missing and hesitates upon acceleration, even
when in neutral.  The problem tends to lessen as the RPMs go up over
1800-2200.  Also, the engine is producing very low torque, so mucht at to
get evven somewhat of a quick start i have to rev upwards of 3500 rpm,
whereas in my golf, a quick start usually means about 2500 rpm.  But
between 2000 and 5000 rpm, the rocco pulls hard, but hesitates when the
rpms are below 2000.  Im damn sure there isnt a vaccum leak, cuz when i
stomp on the throttle in neutral, i can see the intake hose coming from the
airbox suck in about 3/4 inch or more.  Any suggestions?  i have already
siphoned the old gas (from dec 99 hehehe)  and filled it up with super 90
and added the proper proportion of injector cleaner.  With the 90 octane
gas, believe it or not, it pulled harder in the reange specified above, but
still had low power in the low power range specified above. The car has new
plugs in it, the wires are fine, and it has new coolant temperature sensors
and oil pressure sending units.  WHAT IS WRONG!!!  The car has a nice, kleen
K&N as well, and teh timing hasnt been adjusted at all.  I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
