can't get my Passat to keep running. I have a 01 Passat GLS 1.8t was told by the previous owner a newer engine was put in it. I drained out old gas and put new fuel in it with octane booster and injector cleaner in it along with a new battery that is 730 CCA's, and new spark plugs. It is throwing a fault code for the airbag and a warning light for the Anti-slip regulation and the radio doesn't work neither does the horn. The fuses are good in both fuse boxes by haven't checked the horn or clock spring fuses. The car will sometimes idle but quickly dies sometimes I will give it gas and it will get the RPM's up to 3000. Other times I give it a touch of he petal but it will die like it's flooding out maybe? I'm not sure what to do or look at this is my first vw and I'm at a standstill. Any help would be appreciated
