Back in the '90s SWMBO took over my SUV and I started driving her Sirocco. I
don't remember if it was the day after I had tuned it up or not, but driving
to work I could barely press on the gas without getting all kinds of
vibration, missing, etc. So I would accelerate very slowly and if the
vibration started I would back off the throttle a little and try to
accelerate even more slowly. When I got to my office I popped the bonnet and
the distributer cap was not clipped down :-) I can't believe the thing ran
at all!
