Re: [T3] injection points

But I just don't think that your symptoms strike me as FI point
 problem symptoms. Then again I guess I have lost sight of exactly
 what your symptoms are.

With the pressure switch electrically UNattached:  Engine is misfiring
sporadically. Slight bogging sporadically at sudden full throttle.. No
backfiring. some white smoke, plugs fouling.

With the pressure switch electrically attached:  Engine is misfiring more.
bogging and loss of all power at sudden full throttle. Some backfiring. some
white/gray smoke, plugs fouling.

I am first replacing the cheaper, old parts first. My theory is: I'd rather
replace them now, than later. Also, I would rather replace the injectors
only if that is the last possible explanation. (this also goes without
saying that I dread most removing the engine)

I do not have: A multimeter, or a compression tester that will fit. I cannot
afford a Snap-On compression tester. I cannot drive the car to a garage, as
it is not just unregistered, but it has been so long since the car was
registered, the title needs to be resurrected.

now, this is all before I re-built the distrib, and I haven't re-installed
it yet. I don't really expect the inj. points being replaced to solve all my
problems, just to remove one more layer of the many-layered problems in this
car.

The PEZ dispenser springs have been re-coiled to fit in the distributor..
Jim, If you re-fashion springs for distributors yourself, how do you
re-create the exact tolerances that VW needs??????

Man, I can't wait until I am past this, and asking bodywork questions!  :-)
