Am I > confusing this with some other cold-start enrichment? Correct again. Unless it has been miswired, it can only fire while starting. If it is miswired, disabling it will not fix the problem completely because the brain will still be getting a signal to richen the mixture (Miswiring can fool the brain into thinking that the engine is ALWAYS starting.) > I would like to fit some inline Fuel Pressure guage - or at least find > some guage that I can put in line for testing.

I don't recommend a permanent installation, but it's useful to hook a gauge temporarily to the tap between the # 3 & 4 injectors (except on 68-9 where it's between # 1 & 2) just to check out your system. Ordinary 5/16" fuel hose is perfect for making this connection as well as for replacing the lines in the car. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
