I recently purchased a 2001 VW jetta with 90K miles on it. It's a 2.0 non-turbo with a five speed manual (I traded from an automatic Explorer). I love the car so far but sometimes at speed of about 55 it's like it bumps a little bit, kind of like hesitation or a toned down version of what it feels like to run out of gas the bump bump before it cuts off, also sometimes it idles really fast when it's first started up and then once on the road it calms right down, this is my first german car so I am VERY gun shy if you are a VW person with experience on these matters or any good advice for a first time Vdubber let me know your advice, I really hope it's nothing major. I hope I didn't make a mistake switching from american/japanese cars. THANKS!

examine / replace your spark plugs. people who sell used automobiles infrequently positioned money into them. Please use production facility NGK's - confident ngk. A Bosch plug will show all varieties of ordinary engine habit for some reason. i might initiate there first. Then examine the ignition coil with water and a sprig bottle to mist the water and hear for a ticking electric sparking sound. The coils are junk on those automobiles, the case cracks and leak out spark, noticeably under load.
