1990 Golf - MAKE OFFER

« on: May 26, 2009, 09:09:00 PM »
1990 Golf GL
Blue 2 DR
5 Speed
96,299 miles
1.8 L RV engine

I bought this car last year. Paid a shop to do a timing belt change. They pulled my lower cam to check seals and re-installed it incorrectly. The engine was knocking from the timing cam being loose and banging back and forth in it's key way. They refused to pay, yada yada, so I bought a used engine from a 1990 Jetta that had 90,000 miles on it and put it in myself. New clutch, starter, battery, etc. I have a bunch of spare parts, an alternator, two ac compressors, another ISV, and the complete original engine. Spare engine has dizzy, fuel rail, injectors, etc. The spare may be mechanically good or bad, I'm not sure. I drove this car as a daily driver. I drove it on several long trips. It was great till it died. It just won't start. I think its a computer glitch. Got spark, fuel, and great compression, 150's on all cylinders. I just got another Ford Ranger so I don't want the car anymore.

I'm in Whitwell, TN.

Oh, It will start. I don't know why I said it wouldn't. :roll:  You have to mash the pedal to the floor and it will start and idle. It stalls when you try to drive it though.
