My guess is that she's running very rich for some reason and when you pull off the fuel hose this leans out the mixture, to almost nothing. I would guess that when you do this it runs for a bit (on the excess gas that was already in there) and then finally dies from lack of gas. You need to find out why it is running rich. First thing to do is to just unplug the cold start valve under the RH side of the intake air distributor. That is just a 2 pin plug into a sort of 5th injector there. That plug is hard to get to, but you can do it. See if this helps. Do you have a voltmeter? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
