Are you saying that this car was running okay and then you pulled the brain out and then this is what the current situation is? Do you think that your pulling it out actually made things worse, or were things already bad when you started working on it? While it's unlikely that the brain is bad, it is certainly possible, but I've never heard of a failure mode where the injectors just ran full time. Doesn't mean that it couldn't happen, though. I doubt if you caused this, but I'm also skeptical about what's really going on here. Injectors running full time is one thing, but injectors running over rich is quite another symptom, and one for which there are a number or simple, common causes. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
