My Baby is Coughing and Sputtering - part 1

Taking a leisurely roll to the home store set off a chain of events which will live in the annals of ..
ok, maybe not that dramatic, but it's not running right. I've got to fix this fast, so I can keep enjoying the car.

Anxious to see what part II reveals. I know you got this!

[@vdubjunkie]

Thanks man. It’s been an interesting one so far!

Missing under load, coil.

Sssh.. don’t ruin the surprise 😝

It may just be your audio , but it sounds like you always have the rpms really low . Vw engines are basically airplane engines and don't like being bogged down. Beautiful notchback by the way.

[@vdubjunkie]

In fact, yes, I do lower the audio when the engine is running. Sort of artificial normalizing. I’ve been running something around 900 RPM idle.

The power valve is plugged the ultra sonic cleaner can't get that does fuel squirt in to the carb a wire from a brush works Calcium

[@vdubjunkie]

Honestly I didn’t expect much from the ultrasonic.
