1989 Cabby needs help?

Asked by Stormi Skye Jun 27, 2020 at 02:08 PM about the 1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My '89 Cabby won't stat running. Have replace both fuel pumps, filter and
screen, rebuilt the distributor, replaced the fuel pump relay. It will run great for
about ten minutes ( until it gets to temp ) then acts like it's running out of gas.
Have spent a lot of $$ and time on this car, any ideas on how to keep it out of
the salvage yard?
