Is this a CIS-E car? If so, when it rained a bunch a while back, my drains in the cowl were clogged up and it sounded like the fuel pump relay was going bad or that the connection to it was bad.
Turns out, the water had filled up in the cowl and soaked the knock box on the passenger side. Had a good mechanic find the short and ran a jumper and it was perfect. Might be a place to look with all the rain...

I have an 1989 Jetta GTX and today it starting giving me problems. It started but would then buck and hesitate. A couple of times it would completely die on me. I thought at first it was water in the distributor (been raining here quite a bit), but I noticed something odd when I went out to look again. With the key completely out of the ignition you can hear the fuel pump sounding like it is going. I pulled the fuse and then it shuts off. I know this is not normal as the pump is only supposed to run with the key turned forward. Does this mean the pump has finally given up the ghost? If so, how do I manage to nurse enough fuel into it to get it to the shop? Thanks for any help.
