today, i replaced my waterpump/thermostat/power steering pressure line, upon start up, my car will idle normally, try to settle and die... over and over, upon test drive, Major hesitation/sputter/buck going into the next gear ( stepping on gas after gear change ) feels like fuel pressure problem during driving, and vaccum leak problem during the 2 seconds of idle that it lasts for... i didnt have any spare parts left over after the job, and i checked all the vac lines and everything that needs to be is plugged or capped off... i'm so broke, and it's making me crazy... any thoughts???

as suspected i found a massive vac leak on the intake hose... has since been fixed. thanks for all the help guys... lol... if i still drove a VW, i'd have 3 dudes offering to come over with tools and spend an all nighter getting it up and running again if nessecary, guess it's too diff scenes... oh well.
