Just leave it disconnected for now so you are pretty sure it is not injecting now. Try attaching a clean hose to the nipple on the pressure sensor and sucking on it. Does it hold vacuum? If it does not, then there is a crack in the diaphram which would explain your problem. How is the timing and valve adjustment? How about the advance mechanisms in the distributor? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pitch in!
