I own a 1990 GTi 16v with 125k on the clock that has developed a problem.? When I tried to start it this morning the engine just kept turning over and wouldn't fire on any cylinders.? Then after several minutes and several attempts, one cylinder would fire once and then nothing and then it would fire again until eventually it was running on two cylinders.? I had to rev it to get all four firing but when it dropped below 2000rpm, it stopped firing on one or two cylinders.? It caused me to almost stall at the first few junctions and there was a bit of 'kangarooing' but after the engine began to warm, the problem stopped.? This has happened once before a few months back also.
It happened yesterday morning as well but without the initial starting problem.
From what I have heard in the past, it might be a fueling problem.? What do you guys think?? What do I need to get checked and what might it cost?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
