I got the rabbit running ! I cleaned all the injectors and removed and cleaned the cold start valve too. I installed new orings on all the injectors. I went to a salvage yard and got as many wire harness connectors that I could . I cut all my old wire connectors and wired all the better ones on . I also removed the fuel warm up regulator off the front of the engine block and cleaned the inside with electrical cleaner , and the outside where the fuel line run in and out with 2+2 fuel cleaner. Then adjusted the flow plate like you said with the allen wrench.Oh I forgot I also used 2+2 in all of the fuel lines when they were apart .I soaked overnight all of the fuel distributor fuel bolts in cleaner . The car starts right up and idles , but it will still have a floating idle .but for the most part it will idle fine around 1400 rpms. My next question where should the idle really be ? I am so used to my 2008 jetta running smooth that this rabbit sounds more like a diesel car !!!!! I do know I have to replace the exhaust manifold gasket yet because I can hear a leak there . Also at the cat converter connection to the exhaust manifold.
