I purchased my 84 1.8 cabriolet about 2 months ago.
Ran great when purchased until about 3 weeks ago when the fuel pump went out. No big deal, I replaced it. Had a coolant leak 2 days after that and fixed that also. Now it will not start and stay running when cold. I replaced the fuel filter and the intank pump. No change. New cap, wires, & plugs. no change. Now a few weeks have gone by and it is getting much worse. The car wont stay running if I let off the gas at all. Even after it warms up I have to keep revving the thing to stay running. Today I tried a cold start injector , temp switch and idle air control from the salvage yard along with a new air filter and nothing changed. I also hit the throttle body and fuel plate with carb cleaner. Its going to make me crazy. What else is there? Can you help me figure this out? What do I try next. Thank you, Eric |

I replaced the switch on the waterneck. There are 2 switches there and I could only find one of them at the salvage yard.
I didnt replace the unit that takes 2 spade terminals only the one with one large plug in. (both have 2 wires) I guess its possible that I replaced the wrong one since I dont know what the other could do. Thanks, Eric
