[T3] starting woes.....

["Drake ." <vw_type3@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>All, a recent problem has crept up with my wifes 72 square (FI) the car is 
having problems starting, actually as of this time it wont start at all. The 
starter turns the motor over, but slowly for some reason. Every time I have 
had problems in the past with starting this symptom (slow turning over) has 
gone along with it.

Currently the cold start injector is unpluged, which seemes to be causing 
problems when trying to start while the motor was hot. I unpluged the 
electrical connection to the injector about 3 months ago and there has only 
been one problem since that time. The one and only time the car would not 
start since then, the engine was very warm after a long trip, and there was 
significant time to get some more heat soak going. Later that evening, after 
teh car had a chance to cool down it started fine.

The connecting factor every time the car wont start is that the engine turns 
over slowly for some reason.

The car isnt with me right now, so I have not had a chance to check 
anything. The voltage regulator is about 2 months old, valves adjusted about 
a month ago, has been running quite well until now.

I will be checking it over this weekend though, any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

Drake
