Okay, good. So you've gotten it to run by just drippbling fuel in the intake. If that is true, then the ignition must be working. Is that correct? It's still probably a good idea to check the timing to make sure that it has a the best possible chance to start. Turn the key ON and go to the engine. Depress the throttle cable. Do you hear a series of clicks? These would be the injectors clicking in response to the changing throttle valve position. You can actually put your hand on the injectors while you do this and you can feel them click. When you do this you will only feel 2 injectors click. If you turn the engine over with the started you may get the engine into a different position where a different pair will fire. Do this until you satisfy yourself that all 4 are working. If someone cranks the starter you MAY be able to hear these same kinds of clicks without moving the throttle valve. Can you hear, or feel, these? - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
