Vw 1.8 Kjet Jerky misfire issues

Post by AvesshenG »

:bang: My 1981 1.8 kjet developed a misfire and jerky motion the thing is it jerky early rpm till 3000rpm then comes alive like no issue.... But at idle you can hear a slight Misfire at the exhaust especially... I checked plugs and leads. Fuel tank has been cleaned and thru in injector cleaner. What's else could it be?
