Heres the short version of my story. I have a 1984 rabbit convertable , it has sat for 7 years waiting for me to start semi restore it. The reason it was pulled off the road was the gas tank was rusting on the inside. The rust was clogging the transfer pump filter in the gas tank .So about two months ago I started to work on the rabbit. I replaced the gas tank and fuel pump but not the transfer pump.Transfer pump is working fine and screen has been cleaned. I also replaced the fuel lines (rubber ones) going to the tank.The fuel filter under the hood is new as well as the spark plugs , cap , rotor , oil filter , oil , battery , tectonics exhaust . I also cleaned every electrical connection with crc and sanded down any ground mounting spot. I put new gas in tank with fuel injector cleaner. Oh and I did replace the air filter and cleaned out the airbox. And I bought a used fuel dist. unit and it came with a used fuel pressure regulator . Sorry I thought this would have been shorter but I want everyone to know how much I have done. Anyway here is my problem , the rabbit WONT STAY RUNNING!!!!! I am now lost . I thought about just buying a new fuel dist. and fuel pump regulator .The car will start but not stay running for more than 10 to 15 seconds.Any help will be great ! The rabbit is a 1984 gas model 1.8 just like the gti model with cis and 5 speed , convertable . Thanks again
