Volks, Alright the mechanic looked at it today! Here is what he said. Now I have read that "the brain" is the most misdiagnosed problem with VW of this type. "All the injectors are fine, the problem is all the injectors keep pumping gas into the cylinders even when the cylinder is not firing - so they say they think (but cannot confirm) it is the computer which controls the electronic ignition and that is going to take some time to hunt down a used one, which he says is about $200.00. To a certain degree i don't believe them, i believe something was disconnected or hooked up wrong when i was farting around in there, because i pulled the computer out thinking it might have gotten unplugged, no news from your chat line of someone in my area that knows this stuff better?" Anyone have a similar problem? I have had a few good suggestions that can fit I just thought I would throw all the info out there now to see if this isa little more clear.
