[T3] Wire #18 missing in FI.


<x-flowed>I hooked up my FI system to my tester (VW 1218) and it failed test #14:

Turns out the wire on terminal #50 is missing :-(

The car does run and the temp sensors passed. But the car doesn't have very good acceleration and the top end seems to be limited to about 75mph. Valve adjustment, throttle position sensor, timing and point gap have all been done. Though I haven't done an actual mileage computation, shooting from the hip I'd say it's about 15mpg to 18mpg. Suggestions? Could the missing #18 wire be an issue? What's it for?

BTW, the cold starting injector/wiring is not connected...but I'm thinking since this system was shorted (melted a good couple of feet of wire)if there was a wire from the starter it's gone. All the wires in the fender to the brain are intact and look nice. No burned smells inside the brain, either.
