Well the Jetta answered my question this afternoon.

I think it ran away (I have heard about but never witnessed this) and now will not start. It would still turn over when the engine was warm, but now it will not turn over. I had just filled up and was running it out a little 4K shift from 2nd to 3rd and it went past 5k when I pushed in the clutch. I put it in 4th and let the clutch out, applied brakes and it bucked to a stop. We had lots of black smoke.

I was hoping that it had just jumped time, but now it won't turn over, I think it may be its time.

It will be Thursday before I can take a look at it, but I am shopping now.
