<x-charset iso-8859-1>First off... ALL the FI stuff should be a matching set... dont even mess with it till you get all the right stuff in there. NEVER try adjusting the pressure sensors... get a good virgin one that is correct for your system and use that. When everything is matched and correct with the FI we can start helping you troubleshoot things with much greater ease.. Keith I have gone through 4 or 5 vaccum senors, tested them, tried adjusting them, and finally just picked the one that seems to work best. The injectors seemed fine on a leak-down test. The engine in the car is at least the 3rd case, brand new about 50K ago. That means that the fuel injection components have either 250,000 or 350,000 miles or so on them. I've even tried a computer from a '69 in the car. Just this week my Squareback forced me to start driving my '76 westfalia because the flexplate rivets came loose causing the most awful rattling on sustained speeds and decelerations. Even if I was sure that the flex-plate wasn't going to fail catastrophically, I wouldn't drive the car now. Its far too embarassing. Sorry for the long post, but this car has been my daily driver since 1995, and I have yet to get it running right. I've been watching the list for a couple months now seeing if anyone elses problems were the same as mine, but it seems mine is either so obvious that noone else has to ask, or its unique. Any direction would be appreciated. I plan on going down to Parma, but the whole flexplate thing certainly threw a wrench into the works.
