<x-charset iso-8859-1> Your making progress! *Checked the head temp sensor before I started the car today: 1800 ohms. *Drove it a few miles to my studio and tested it there: 180 ohms. This will run the car fairly well if not very well... you might run a wee bit rich when hot and lean when cold but this can be delt with later or by swapping in a good other sensor. *In the process noticed that my spark wire cooling boots are pretty brittle. *#4 boot is cracked. Anyone know where I can get some more? Anywhere.. same as the bug.. I have some too. *Then I went to the distributor and cleaned the trigger contacts. They needed *it. Cleaned out the distributor in the process and threw in a new set of *points. Reset the timing. Everything's running smoothly. Probably your problem.. I clean my trigger points every 15K.. if the dist is dirty or over greased then they need cleaning more often. *While I was at it I *switched in a new fuel pump voltage relay and my engine cuts out much more *directly than it used to when I turn the key off. (Every now and then my car *used to diesel on hot days.) Sounds like your relay was sticking.. that would explain things... good work! *So now I just have to wait for another hot muggy day to see what happens. -- Mike Wodkowski 72 FI SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org </x-charset>
