| hmm
could be numerous things.
has car had a service recently???
ive had similar problems before once caused by a split ht lead, so it caused a missfire in low down revs.
check your leads, plugs etc first | |

| Could be a vac leak somewhere?
or the blue temp sender possibly if its a digi.
try cleaning out the throttle body too. | |

| check ignition timing too, might not have enough advance to run right low down then when it gets some revs and picks up some advance it starts to run ok | |

| It has completely died now  maybe 1.8T conversion to fix it? Seriously though, i think the problem is with my electrics. Any suggestions for reasonable priced plugs leads and distributor? | |
