Do you mean that if you turn the key ON with the engine hot you won't get the ~1sec fuel pump cycle? If so, then I don't think the trigger points are the problem. I THINK you should get the ~1 second pulse even with the trigger points disconnected. Try that some time. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
