Was kindly given a 1989 Scirocco GT by a friend. Got her through the MOT and all was fine. Now I've developed a strange problem, which is as follows:
- Car starts up fine, Idles no problem.
- If in neutral the car is reved past 2,000 rpm (it *seems* to misfire) and looses power back down to 0 rpm if the accelerator is kept at the same position. Releasing the accelerator returns the car back to idle.
- The only way to drive the car is by flooring the accelerator, which seems to get past the huge flat spot past 2,000 rpm.
Does anyone have any idea's?
its been suggested that a flap on the air intake might not be functioning correctly. But I'm not so sure, could it be HT leads?
