unbelievable, my VW is broken.

Maybe take off the VW emblem on the car and replace it with one from a Honda. It may just work then.

at a loss here.

driving tonight…all of a sudden car goes haywire. rpm’s start jumping around under throttle while in gear (not with clutch engaged or in neutral), but progressively getting lower. car was shuddering and misfiring. it does this sometimes when i start the car in the cold, but once it warms up, it’s fine. i had been driving for about 15 minutes when this happened tonight. car definitely wasn’t cold. it’s a 91 mk 2 jetta 1.8 8V digi. could this be an oil pump problem? i know i don’t always hold the best oil pressure, but a slight rev boosts the pressure and (temporarily) fixes the problem. i just went outside and started it now though and it was fine. any advice would be great. thanks in advance.
