Driving the Golf home from the Grocery Store, and while I was accelerating, saw smoke come out the tailpipe. Aftward, if revving above 4000 had little or no power, so drove at low rpm for about .2 mile more, and it would idle fine at stops, but then finally the engine shut off. and would not go. Had to call AAA to get towed home. Tried to crank, and it does crank over, but does not start.
I did recently change the fuel filter about 200 miles ago, but had been running fine afterward until now.
Any tips on what I should check?
I am going to:
check compression
check for air in the fuel lines
How do you check to see if:
the fuel pump is operating correctly
Any other tips on what I should check for?
