non- running problem, 16v (long)

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

my friend alex's 16v scirocco has a running problem. when he brought it in 
to me he complained of the car bucking and stalling after it warmed up. 
immediatly i thought of the transfer pump, as that these are the exact 
symptoms both of my 16v rocco's showed with bad transfer pumps. i replaced 
the transfer pumps and the bucking stopped, but now there's a different 
problem. after the car has warmed up, 5-10 mins of running, it dies 
instantly when given gas from idle. it then refuses to start until cooling 
off, at least 1/2 hour or longer. still thinking a fuel problem, i checked 
the injectors which i found needed o-rings. while replaceing the o-rings i 
noticed his injectors looked bad, so i replaced them with a spare set of 
freshly cleaned injectors. then i checked the fuel pump relay which tested 
fine.  restart the car, and get the same thing. instant death when given gas 
after warmed up. so now i'm thinking maybe the main pump? or maybe am i to 
locked on a fuel problem to be missing the true cause? any thoughts, 
suggestions, or previous experiences with this kind of problem? help, i'm 
really getting sick of this friggin' car! tia
