Since you seem to have fixed the problems that were evident, I agree. The one problem that you MIGHT have that you can't see is crimped on connectors that are no longer tight on their mating pins. This is rather common on replaced injectors, where the pins are actually thinner than the originals. For these you can use a straight pin to carefully remove the female connectors from the plastic housing and then check the fit on the male pins. If they are not tight you can give them a VERY careful squeeze with a pair of pliers, then reinstall them in the plastic holder. > By the way, I have already been able to rule out many of the things > you mentioned like temp sensors, fuel pump, and pressure sensor.

I would check the dist trigger points next, unless you have already done this. This is one of those times when a real FI tester would come in handy, as this will eliminate a whole lot of possible problems very quickly. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
