VW Jetta Engine Miss
My wife's 2001 Jetta 6 cylinder 5 speed has developed an engine miss, mostly in first gear at anything over half power acceleration, and a little less in second gear. I've ordered a service CD but it was back ordered so I don't know much about it, and I need to buy some torx drivers so I don't know what it looks like, and I guess I'm in the market for a OBD2 scanner now. But in the meantime its getting worse so I need to get on the ball for fixing it.
I'm pretty much thinking its ignition related but I don't know of any testing I can do, I don't want to start replacing parts. I may do some just based on the age and potential end of life of the plugs and wires though. Any ideas what to check or what's going on? Thanks.
