Engine Problem

hotrodfabian · 10-17-2007, 01:48 AM

I just got my 83 MK II. The car had been sitting for the last 5 yrs. Car wont start right away, and when it does, it sturggles to stay on. There is a noticible smell of gas coming from the engine, (From my pumping of the gas pedal). I have driven the car around my block, but it will not go verry fast (about 10 mph), no matter how much gas I give it, or in whatever gear it is in. I already replaced the exhaust system, and I also checked the oxygen sensor at the air filter, I have also ruled out the tps. I was told that the fuel injectors might be clogged but I am not sure. Would really appreciate some info, thanx.
