Re: Cold Starts / Idiling / Jetta 97 GLX *SOLVED*

["Patrick Sherman" <psherman@bigfoot.com>]

Well it has been solved... It was the MAF Sensor. It was off by a little so
in the morning the cold starts would be way off and by later it would
correct it self.. So they said, they have replaced it, and have not been
able to Duplicate it since, before they could duplicate every morning...
