Jim, I've had my fastback for about 9 months now and it's had a perpetual loopy idle/hesitation problem. Other this time period, I've done a full tune up (including replacement of points, wires, plugs, etc. and timing and valve setting), replaced the voltage regulator and battery (which was dying), tested the throttle vavle switch, checked and re-adjusted aux air regulator, the distributor advance mechanism(s), and I've replaced two leaking injectors (that were causing the engine to flood). I've checked all the sensors, the wiring harness, the FI triggers and the cold start valve. I've also checked for vacuum leaks, but there aren't any obvious ones and done a compression check (which show even and reasonably high ~125#). Through all of this, the hesitation/loopy idle problem has remained. Unfortunately, I'm running out of options for possible causes. I think at this point, through shear elimination, only the PS, the computer, and possibly the distributor are left. I was hoping to be able to get a hold of one locally, replace it, and then test the results. If it didn't solve the problem I could return it. However, I can't seem to find one these parts locally (unless somebody knows otherwise). If its not possible to test by replacement, I guess I'll have find specs for the PS and test my PS in depth? wade -----Original Message----- From: Type 3 Mailing List [mailto:type3@vwtype3.org] On Behalf Of Jim Adney Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 10:45 PM To: Type 3 Mailing List Subject: Re: [T3] Getting a pressure sensor?

I have a Genuine NOS Bosch one, or I may have a good used one. Are you sure yours is bad?
