Hi,
My 97 Jetta has been problem free up until now. I took my car in a few weeks
ago to get my timing belt replaced (just turned over 100,000K) as a
preventive measure. As well as a tune up and fuel pump replacement.
Yesterday on the way to work I’m finding that when my engine idles the
engine shakes and seems as if it’s going to stall. It runs fine if the RPM’s
are high but if running low I can feel it chugging as if it’s not getting
gas…any idea’s?
I’m taking it back to the mechanic tomorrow.

probably the camshaft is retarded one notch.
distributor is on the money or a DTC would have been thrown.
just a guess. :-)

I am no mechanic but that happen to my 96′ jetta trek and it turned
out to be the ignition coil, when it would get wet it would do that.
or after a rain storm it just wouldn’t start at all, and I would have
to get the blow dryer out and dry it off in order for it to start.
hope I helped
