hi, have experienced this a few times myself with gtis, the older ones run jetronic fuel injection system instead of motronic which is the main cause of the problem,i.e the older ones are all like this, several things to check air filter etc in case its choked, you can adjust the tps(on the side of the throttle body) by simply loosening the two bolts and turnin very gently whilst the car is runnin to increase tickover,which will help this. hope this helps

What are the effects of a volcano in a country's economy?
Volcanoes can change the economy positively or negatively.
The positive way is that a cone volcano like Mt.Fuji in Japan can bring tourist. Then the country might have a tourist based economy Also after an eruption,the land will become fertile which farmers can use to grow crops,and then sell them.Theres also a slight chance that the volcano might have jewels,which will cause mining and and a boost to the ecomomy.
The negatives are volcanic eruptions.Sure,they can fertilize the land but the lava will destroy the land first.The eruption could destroy a forest by causing a wild fire,ending the chance of logging.If the lava goes into a town,then it will obviously damage it, costing millions of dollars on repairs,meaning the economy gets sucker-punched in the face.The eruption can also cause land slides, which might end up destroying part of a town,which will cost the government millions,once again,pushing the economy of a mountain.Then theres insurence.Everyone has insurence,so the insuring companies will have to pay up.Normally,only 2 of those thing happen.But if all 3 happen,the economy is as good as dead.
What are the negative effects of tourism in the french alps?
negative effects are many; litter, erosion due to areas being cleared for ski trails and walking tracks, impact on shy wildlife (marmotte, wolves etc), visual impact of lifts and cable cars, strain on resources such as water and sewerage. There is also the problem that if you have 500,000 people on holiday in an area you have to supply their electricity, water, food etc which has its own knock on effects such as pipe lines, cables, urbanisation of small towns etc.
Positive effects are just as many however; increased revenue to local economy, reduced unemployment, revenue to allow the set up of extensive national parks etc. In the end the mountains are beautiful, everyone should be free to enjoy them, I just think we need to become better at being kind to them!
