My FI'd 70 fastback is running rough. It starts up easy, idles a little irregular, and has loss of power at the top of the rev, you know takes off well in first but then looses power, shift takes off again looses power. and between 35 and 45(maybe other speeds, i might not have noticed) if you leave the throttle steady the car begins to surge. it worsens if you don't give it more throttle or lay off the throttle. then as i neared home, it seemed to loose a cylinder or more(seemed like it was gonna die and didn't want to accelerate). i looked at the injector plugs, the one that goes to cylinder two is EXACTLY the right length to reach the plugin. i think that one may be a problem. i am going to look tonight and see if something is pinching the wires, therefore shortening it. my dad(not a vw guy) said that the power loss sounds like the fuel pump is not keeping up. and he thinks the rough idle is due to the elevation of boise. we're at 2800 ft. bently says to time it to 0d BTD. by maybe it needs to be changes for the elevation. maintenance so far to fix the problem: cap, rotor, spark plugs, fuel filter replaced, timed to 0d, valves adjusted. I looked at the fuel trouble shooter in bently and it seems intimidating. thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------ Get the award winning ISP, AT&T WorldNet Service http://download.att.net/webtag
