>From what I understand, the aforementioned gizmo tells the ECU that the engine's under load, and the ECU tells the FI to dump fuel. The engine can't burn that much gas (beings' the engine's not really under that much load), fuel buildup in and on the cylender walls is the result. This eventually breaks down the viscosity of the oil in the case, and either rings seize, or this mystical scoring (that I've never heard of before). Sounds logical to me. But then, I let it happen. But I got a really tremendous education in D-Jetronic from this guy Don in San Antonio. If anybody's in town, he's invaluable. He's a former VWOA instructor (1968-1974), and pretty cool. > ---------- > From: Erkson, Toby[SMTP:toby.erkson@intel.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 1998 1:39 PM > To: 'type3@vwtype3.org' > Subject: RE: [T3] Deathrich > > Get a VW part number for this fuel pressure sensor so we know what they're > talking about.
