Have you checked the head temp sensor wire? It may have come loose or been broken somewhere when you fiddled with the distributor.

It is a 73 and it has been raining hard here lately. But the hose (I am assuming you are talking about the one that comes out the side of the gas filler area) is ok, the rubber boot that surround the filler area is torn and falling off. Can this be a source of water? The cap was on tight. (Could that have also been causeing the popping/backfiring that I was experianceing before it completely died on me?) >> My fuel pressure and everything was adjusted about a month or so ago, when >> my car had died last. >Can you hear the pump running for about 1 second when you turn >the key ON? That sound would be a faint faint faint buzzing and then a second relay click right? If so I have them both. In response to Greg: Yes my car had been experiancing problems, but has been running very nicely for about a month now. -Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
