stumbles on acceleration
96 Jetta 2.0
• always had a problem starting the car after it rained the night before. • would take several tries, but would eventually start, and would be fine the remainder of day. • in mid January.. after having trouble starting (rain).. made it 8-10 miles... but stalled on way home and it took 45-60 minutes to get it started again, and make it home. Would stall when accelerating into 1st/2nd.. after a stop/traffic light. (CEL came on) -> replaced plugs • stalled again 2 weeks later, after accelerating from a stop. Would crank fine, but would not turn over. Had to have it towed home. -> replaced wires -> then replaced cap, rotor and fuel filter. Took it in for CEL code.. PO300, PO302 (misfire) now.. it starts just fine, but after driving for 1-3 miles.. stumbles on acceleration and stalls after a stop (1-2 gear). I was able to get it started again, after waiting 5-10 minutes. Any thoughts? coil next? injectors? or.. as my car guy says.. just bad gas? ps. I also replaced the mid and rear muffler and the intermediate pipe in December. Just wondering it I did any damage during removal/installation.. towards the front (down pipe)

Epoxy works on VR coils. 2L coils are cheap enough. www.autohausaz.com

i had the same problem a while back and the coil was at fault. only thing that threw a twist into my problem was i went to buy a new coil and it ended up being bad. had me more confused but eventually got another coil and it fixed everything. good luck
