Default Jetta hesitation/shaking during acceleration

i have a 1994 VW Jetta 2.0ltr manual trans. Recently put in new or slightly used transmisson to replace old one which went out. Car over all has been great to me. This is my second Jetta I have owned.

My car has been shaking or hesitating when I press the gas. It does it in just about every gear and I would say maybe more so when its warmed up. It also has been dying after Its warmed up and I stop at a store and start it again. Takes several attempts to get it to start.

We have researched this everywhere and found so many possible issues it may be. We so far have replaced the cap and master air flow censor. We also found a cracked pipe which we jimmy rigged to work until the part comes by mail.

Any help with this would be VERY APPRECIATED as we would like to avoid letting it sit in a shop. The problem seems to come and go so I have doubts a mechanic can diagnose unless its doing it then and there.

Thank you in advance!

that could be a number of things, including the fuel system.try an inejction service. how is the air filter? manual trans are simple and dont usually give u a hesitation. also check fuel filter first
