Hello. I have a mk3 golf 1.8l 8v. And I had no power on low rpm and when the engine was warm but not on the normal. And I had a fuel pump from 2.0 l , so I replaced with my (1.8l fuel pump). At start the engine was jumping but when I drove the performance of the car was great. But the spark plugs were wet and black. Can it be done or not, Or some adjustments needs to be done? thank you/
