Remember that a leak here on the D-Jetronic FI doesn't make it run lean. This is different from most other FI systems. I think the traditional leak checker is propane: Just use an unlit propane torch. Depending on whether the mixture is lean or rich the engine speed may drop or increase. I think you can also use this right in the intake air stream to judge whether the engine is idling on the rich or lean side. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
