I have been having an intermittent starting, rough running problem w/
my stock 1.9 w/ vanagon syndrome patch, & 102k on it. Has run great
since this week, then noticed a slight loss of power like I was out
of gas, then it would be fine.  Finally wife drove it, & it wouldn't
start for awhile, then did, then finally not at all of course until I
AAA'd it to my faithful 30 year vw mechanic where it started right up!

Mechanic checked for fuel pressure-good, loose connections, coil,
good, plug wires-new vw 2-3 years ago, changed fuel filter, plugs,
rotor cap, (84-1 year only), & drove it round town for 2 days where
it ran great until it finally did it again.

Any clues we are not seeing?

Regards,

Tom B.-things seem to fix themselves for awhile, then quit-WTF?
