So just bought aa stick 95 jetta to with the 2.0 motor, said it needed aa crank shaft positioning sensor, swapped it out, didn't fix it. The car has a hard time starting, and when I do get it going it won't rev past 3k rpms, I'm getting to like 52 mph by the time it maxes out 5th. I'm a weekend warrior at best, and at this point I can't even drive it long enough to cycle the sensors, any ideas would be appreciated, this is my first vw, and the first car I don't want to pay my mechanic to fix.
