Also all the usual tuneup things: dwell, timing, valve adjustment. Put a clean hose on the pressure sensor and suck on it. It should hold vacuum. If it does not then there is a leak there which MAY be fixable, or you may need a "new" pressure sensor. Have you checked the fuel pressure? 28-30psi. Have you checked the charging system regulating voltage? Should be 14.1- 14.4V measured at the battery at medium RPM after a drive to get everything warmed up. If it is below 13.5V, replace the voltage regulator. This is a common problem which makes the EFI run rich. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
