Golf mk1 Cabrio starving for fuel

Hi all
I would appreciate some advice please.
The other day after filling up petrol,i took off and suddenley my car started jerking and losing power, I pulled over and the car then switched off and refused to start.
We checked and the car was getting spark, the fuel pump is clicking ad fuel is running to the front of the car, I pulled the fuel line off the fuel filter and can see plenty of fuel rushing through. It seems that this fuel is somehow not getting to the injectors/throttle. When I place a little fuel in the throttle body she starts and idles for a bit then dies.What could be the possible problem?
I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
