Check the cap to make sure that the carbon brush in the center is there and spring loaded. Try a different rotor. All parts should be genuine Bosch. Check the resistance of each wire, including the one from the coil to the dist. The SP wires should have ~1000 Ohms each, including the SP connectors where the resistors are. The rotor should have ~5000 Ohms from center to end. The coil wire should have ~zero Ohms, unless it has that big black resistor connector on the coil end, which I can't ever remember (something between 1000 and 5000 Ohms.) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
