This sounds promising. Purging the system with the key doesn't clear everything because it may take a lot of repetitions and it will not fill the injectors, either. > The fuel system is holding the pressure since I have a fuel > pressure guage permanently mounted and it reads 29 psi even an hour > or two later.

It should show 28-30 when the engine is running, but it should fall to ~20 within a few seconds of stopping the engine. If you have a gauge installed somewhere keep in mind that it and it's plumbing could be part of the problem. If your gauge really never reads 0 when you get in the car, then my suggestion is not the right one, but if your gauge reads 29 all the time I suspect there is something wrong with your gauge. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
