It is my understanding that Rabbits were not made in the US until 1979 or 1980.

Anyway, this thing exactly happened to me when I was in Kansas on a cross-
country trip. I think the higher elevations made the problem worse.

There happened to be a VW dealer less than 10 miles away (can you believe that
for luck?), so I hobbled into town, and brought it to them in the morning.
They said the fuel pump had almost no pressure, and needed to be replaced.
They did so (~$130, if I remember), and I had no trouble for the rest of my
trip -- not in the Rockies, not in Phoenix. However, the pump still buzzes
once in a while......
