The starter ALWAYS turns over, its just that there's no firing of the gas. I'm very familiar with what it sounds like when the starter sticks when hot (happened to me a couple times on my trip last summer. And my electrical is all working fine according to the FAQ Jim wrote. > > How does it measure cold? This sounds too low even for hot. Have > you tried changing to the other one I sent you? I'll measure the head temp sensor cold today. And If I'm lucky I'll check out the trigger contacts. If my head temp sensor doesn't give the right reading I'm definitely switching it out today. If it does, then I'll send you back your wrench this week Jim. Please clarify what you mean when you say to use a clip lead wire across the fuel pump relay. Why does the wire need to be 2 feet? > > It's possible that there is a problem with the sensor; I can never > remember which one has which resistance, but others here seem > to think that this is the one which should have a couple thousand > Ohms resistance.

Temp sensor I (the head temp sensor) is supposed to read 2500 ohms cold, temp sensor 2 in intake air distrib. is 300 ohms cold. Cold is 68° F. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much? Digest! mailto:type3-d-request@vwtype3.org Subj=subscribe </x-charset>
