My 89 Scirocco GTI is having problems with frosty mornings - it starts
instantly but will only run for about 5 seconds - If I touch the
accelerator it dies instantly. Then its a case of start again, wait
till it stops, start again etc etc until it gets enough heat in it to
keep going - the engine is still liable to die when returning to idle
for the next five minutes.
Which particular valve or regulator is not working? They all seem to
be much too expensive to swap out on a "trial and error" basis.

Have you done the simple stuff like new plugs, new vacume lines and cleaned
the throttle plate area of the intake manifold? Don't forget the rubber
gromet in the valve cover where the crank case breather thing goes.

Possibly a faulty warmup regulator bolted to the block, or coolant temperature
sensor for FI.
Not too sure of your FI system though.
good luck!

K-Jetronic is better known in the US as CIS (even though by '89 we got
CIS-e or KE-Jetronic over here). With that factiod out there, perhaps
you'll get more responses.

Possibly the cold start injector (the 5th injector located on the
front of the intake manifold). Also, get the Haynes manual.

Bosch K-Jetronic is what is for some reason called CIS in the US and Canada.
