So i have a 1996 VW Golf GL 2.0 v4. It will start up and stay running if i hold down the accelerator pedal but will shut off when trying to idle. I have replaced the fuel filter but cant seem to figure out exactly what my issue is. I know i need spark plugs however they worked fine the other day. The distributor rotor and cap look fine to me and the wires look ok. So is it the air idler sensor thing or is it a bigger issue than that?
