My golf was running perfect until I parked it up for 2mths
Put a new battery on,have fuel and spark
But to get it to start I have to stamp on the accelerator and keep it turning over until it finally starts.
When it starts it's very lumpy and will not idle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It's a 1.6 gti
Thanks
Mark

Bad Petrol in the Tank.
Varnish build up.
Vacuum leaks
I would add a pint of SEAFOAM engine treatment to your GAS, or Marvel Mystery Oil. This will help clean the Injectors, and start to remove any Varnish that is in the System from evaporation.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.
Where are my DIY Links?

Give it a squirt over with some cleaner anyway
But has made no difference

Filter ordered
Does anyone know if the metering head plunger should be down/seated before start up as I noticed mine was up a few Milimetres
Also spark plugs are wet every time I start it up so does this mean it's over fuelling???
Thanks

My rotor arm appears to be fouling the dizzy cap I got a new rotor arm today but it's still catching the dizzy.
Is this because it's a cheap one ?
Can I file it down where it's fouling?

I changed it due to the crack on the top
