Okay, good, now you've answered all the basic questions. How does the car run when you drive it? Does it miss at all? Check the spark plugs to make sure the gap is correct (.026-.028".) Check each of the spark plug wires/connectors to make sure that they measure 0- 1500 Ohms. Check the rotor to make sure it measures 0-10,000 Ohms. Do a compression test to make sure there is not some fundamental engine problem. Check the valve lash. Set them to .004 for intakes and .006 for exhausts. Change the oil, including the oil in the air cleaner. Beyond that, I'm out of long distance ideas.... - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
