Volkswagen Repair: Engine on 91 Jetta stalling, car jack, fuel filter

Question
I have a 91 Jetta that the engine will shut off while driving. Do you have an idea as to why this happens? Also is this a problem with this type of car?

Answer
Jack.

This is not a common problem.  The only thing I can think of is that your fuel filter needs replacing, as it could be starving the engine of fuel.
Please give me more details of what happens when the when the engine shuts off or just before it shuts off.

Thank,

Paul
