[T3] Stupid fuel pump, perhalps Im just stupid


Hello all, 

Well I thought I had had my 71 square all fixed and
wonderful,
 I had went through every thing on the FI , replaced
intake boots and the head gaskets, the whole deal. And
it ran great, Just wonderful, minus the slight bogging
feeling when you were at high speeds and accelerated. 
However the other day it started idling rough and
would stall out and not start again. This is real
annoying when at a light during morning traffic. Any
ways through trial and error i determined it was the
fuel pump. I put one of my replacements on to find
that the problem was fixed, no more stalling , ran
good. Only a new problem was found, The spare pump
leaked gas like crazy , from the casing. Bad Bad Bad.
No vw shop in this town has t-3 parts , its like they
are evil or some thing. They just laugh and say "Nahh
, We throw those thing away , no one wants them,, Ha
ha , Good luck". 
 So I check my Local Import parts place that happens
to have a but load of nos type 3 FI parts, And low and
behold they have a spankin new Bosch still in the
original package $500 fuel pump. Sooooo.....  I buy it
, I dont have much of a choice , But I talked them
down to $300. Ouch!! none the less.

So now it runs good , minus the slight bogging at
first acceleration , and the slight bucking at crusing
speed and the funky idle at stop. Any one have any
ideas how to end my long torture???? 
I Will buy a Bottle of REBEL YELL , courtesy of former
list member RJ Lathrow , for the person who can help
me out =)   
Thanks,
 Bryan
