8V High speed miss rather windy
<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P>Ahhhhh everything is right with the world again. I replaced my bosch main pump with a shitey old aftermarket unit I had sitting and all the wierdness went away. I'm sure I'll be putting a new pump in it pretty soon but for now I'm very much happier. </P>

<DIV></DIV>I'm currently having the same problem with my 88 16v. I haven't investigated it, but right before 4000 rpms in all gears
<DIV></DIV>it will buck like it's being starved of fuel (like a rev limiter). This only happens once in a while, maybe once every 15 minutes
<DIV></DIV>when driving consistently.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Please do let me know what you find, it's starting to drive me nuts. I'm going to talk with my VW buddies and see if they
<DIV></DIV>have anything to say. I'll let you know what I find out.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Thanks,
<DIV></DIV>Nick
