This is puzzling, but I think you must have missed the very first click. The first click actually happens the instant you turn the key on, THEN you hear the whir, then the second click (and the whir stops.) The first click is actually TWO relays closing at the same time: one under the back seat, and the other under the dash. The second click is the one under the dash releasing. Your third click is on the engine. Does this sound like what you have? I'm guessing that the soft click from the back is from the engine compartment and that this is a '72 or '73 with EGR. The EGR has a separate timer which I'm gonna ignore for purposes of the FI, as they are not interconnected. So..., it sounds like this is working correctly, but tell us what year this is again. > There are two sensors disconnected and connected to the pots on the dash. Check the sensors with an Ohmmeter. Anything other than zero or infinity is likely to be good. Replace any that are not good (I have them if you can't find them locally) and then reconnect. Make sure the pressure sensor hose is connected on both ends. You could put a clean hose on the pressure sensor and suck on it, just to verify that it holds vacuum; you don't want it to leak, at least not too much. > We got it started.

Voltage sounds good. I'm actually surprised that it's that high at a mere high idle, but this sounds good. Unplug the cold start valve, just to remove that as a possible source of a problem. If that seems to fix it, then we should look into that further just to make sure that you've corrected the WHOLE problem. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
