Yeah, I'd never heard of a 'Fuel Pressure Sensor,' for the D-Jetronic before, but I'm a real cherry at this, so I figured that the VWFLAPS wouldn't steer me wrong. I even made him repeat that the name of the part was correct. We'll see tomorrow morning when I call him back after the real diagnosis. Sigh 8^( '...I need two pints of Hypoid Gear Oil, stat!...'
