It helps if you insert your replies after the relevant comments, like this, and delete the extraneous stuff. This preserves the natural conversational flow of the message (question followed by answer) and relieves the reader of searching to see if there might be something relevant within the quoted material elsewhere. Yes, it's more work, but reducing the amount of quoted material also reduces the amount of disk space that our archives take up. If the pump is running you know that at least some of the FI system is funcional. You've verified the 12V power is getting to the brain, that the brain has a good ground, and that at least one small part of the brain is functioning correctly. > No, I have never head any tiny clicks when in the engine compartment. Then either your injectors are rusted closed from sitting too long with water in the fuel, or your trigger points are dirty and not making contact. Test the trigger contacts first. Using an Ohmmeter, measure between the center pin on the side of the dist and one side pin with the wiring harness disconnected. Get someone to crank the engine with the starter while you do this. The resistance should alternate between very high and very low. Repeat the test between the center pin and the other side pin. If either side stays open. Remove the distributor and clean the trigger points. DO NOT file them. Just clean them with a clean piece of paper slid between the points. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
