So heres the deal. I just got this car (traded it for my 94 passat glx) and it has a few problems.
1. Im not too sure on this, but it has shitty mileage. Its either that or i just drive too much. Maybe the other problems might be related to this one?
2. It boggs up and down. On start up, its fine, but once its warmed up it'll begin to jump rpms between 1000 to 400. Sometimes it'll get to the point where it feels like the engines going to stall but the rpms jump right back up.
3. The car has absolutely no power. At full throttle, the speed climbs really slow and sluggish. The car also has its CEL on.
I have a few ideas on what could be the problem, but just to see what you guys think. For the rpm jumping around, i think it might be the FITV, IACV or the TB. Got these parts from the local junker and going to replace them soon (cleaned the IACV and tightened the FITV). As for the power, it might be the timing being retarded? let me know what you guys think.
