Idling issues on 89 Jetta - 5/8/2008 1:08:44 PM

Hi everyone -- I recently bought an 89 Jetta. Lately, when I make a cold start, the engine turns over but then suddenly dies. I re-start a couple of times and eventually it works. However, it fluctuates while idling for the remainder of the trip.

After some preliminary research, I think it might be a Digifant issue. My question is this: does anyone know of a website where I can purcchase an electrical coolant tempereature sensor? I can't seem to find any suppliers. Has anybody else had this issue?

Thanks to everyone who read this post.
