Hello can anyone help please.
My mate has a problem with his Mk2 Driver, and as I have a Mk 3 GTI he has asked me for some advice. Unfortunately my knowledge on carbs is pretty rubbish.
1991 1595 cc automatic mark 2 golf
the symptoms are as follows,
it is difficult to start when warm
- when car engine is warm it hunts higher than 1000 revs and when I place into neutral the revs go above 3000-4000 then settles to normal idle, it feels unsafe to hold car on foot brake stationary.
- if hunting whilst driving along this can be temporary sorted by quickly pressing the accelerator/gas but now becoming less effective.
-She is now stalling when warm/hot after deceleration when I accelerate after, eg from motorway to b road or after stopping at traffic lights the car stalls and is lumpy and is difficult to restart, or, can not be started at all, when this last happened had to call the AA. They said the fuel gauge was not registering (I had over a 1/4 of a tank if not more) and managed to get her started but didn't idle very well so had her recovered. (N.B it is a mechanical pump) so not sure if this is connected.
- it is difficult to start when warm
-previously if I used a bit of choke then I could change the revs so she didn't stall when accelerating but this is no longer as effective.
