The advice to get books is good, except I've already got a copy of all of the VW books I could dig up at the local used stores, as well as a new copy of the Muir book. I was hoping to get it into the garage and out of the elements before I really started examining things.. but.. basically it looks like the wire that goes from the ECU to all of the sensors and such is still intact, on the motor end of it. The wire splits up to all of the different plugs, and they're still attached to where they belong(except for the one set of injector wires which were simply unplugged). Assuming the rain stops, or at least lets up tommorrow I'll go out and check off the items one at a time. From memory the distributor, coil, a number of sensors, and well essentially everything looks fine, until it leaves the area immediately surrounding the engine. The hook-ups for the battery have been snipped off, and the ends of them are sitting right under the back seat, the wire for the fuel injection is intact, until it goes up into the compartment where you expect the ECU to be, then it's cut off.. Hopefully it'll be possible to get the plug and wires attached to it intact? Most sane people with an ounce of patience would simply unplug the ECU, and if they wanted the plug take the whole chunk of wiring? Anyone know of any good junk yards in Oregon where I could get parts?
