Nothing. Check for broken/loose wires under the dash and the engine compartment. Especially check the FI ground wire to the engine case. Check the 2 FI power wires at the LF of the engine compartment. When you push the throttle down with the key ON can you hear multiple clicks coming from the injectors? It sounds like the FI brain has lost either power or ground. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
