John, When I check the ECU, should I have the engine running? To see if a wire is loose and cuts the engine or should it be off, just checking for loose connections by feel. Thanx for your help!

I've had a similar problem and it turned out to be wire 28 on the connector block was making an intermittent connection I've heard of folks soldering the connections but I have not- I just very gently pushed the contacts more together and refastened it. One way to know this is the problem is to pull the ECU and the plastic cover off but don't dissconnect -then use a small insulated screwdriver and just touch the back of each connection and see if one is loose enough to cause a problem-keep an eye on wire 28. Hope this helps. John 69 FI Automatic Fasty(and love it) ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
