mgmrxn Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hey guys, I have a 86 TSI. THe car ran ok two years ago but has been sitting in my garage and has not been started for over 2years. I just tried to start is and it cranks and begins to fire up but them runs really ruff. it won't idle on its own and when I try to give it gas it sputters and revs and then tries to die. If I feather the pedal I can keep i running ( reallly ruff). if I try to let it idle it cuts off or if I give it to much gas it cuts off. I need help. I am a novice and want to know if there are any Experts in or near New Jersey who want to help me get this car running again? I am will to pay and help. I live in Central Jersey. Any Mechanics out there will to help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy_TSi Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 the fuel could be all "gooey", its been sitting for 2 years, also change your motor oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
