I really need some help with this one. I hope someone out there has seen this before and can help.
I have an 06 Jetta 5 speed. Most of this work was back in May but the owner has only put about 2k miles since then because of surgery. It came in and needed a cam and wasn't running right. So we put in a cam, the injectors were almost at max deviation so we put in new ones, and a fuel filter. Also put in a clutch and took egr out. Car seemed to run fine and owner was happy. About a month ago the number two cylinder started misfiring. I was told to swap it with number one to see if it followed, but that it could fix itself. I was skeptical. But I did that and it actually did fix the misfire problem. However now under heavy load the car stumbles like its not getting fuel. So I found the in tank pump not working. Put a new one in with no change in the stumbling. Couldn't get a good reading on the fuel pressure at the tandem pump so I tried a new one that didn't help, so I reinstalled the old one. I also unplugged the intake flap motor to see if that might help. Last resort was to try to warranty the one injector that was misfiring. Just did that and its still the same. There are no codes other than a bad glow plug. The car seems to run just fine until I ask for boost mostly in third and fourth gears under acceleration it stumbles.
I think I have covered all I have done. Anyone have any ideas? I will take all the help I can get.
Thanks
