Okay, I started with replacing the hose to the pressure sensor. The car runs totally different suddenly. There is a good chance that it was causing me problems all along. However I have a new or related problem. I've got the car at home in the driveway, I turn the key and I get the two expected clicks. I then start it, and it starts right up, runs pretty smooth, and has no smoke coming from the exhaust. I can let it idle and after about 20 seconds or so, the car will just die. I can star it right back up and the same thing will occur. I can also rev it up while it's running and the results are the same... Car dies at about 20 seconds. It doesn't gradually die either, it's like someone turns off the key, just kills it. Where should I start looking at things that are controlled by the length of time it runs like that? It seems odd... But if it were rolling, I might have the same results I was having before while driving it. There are a lot of parts to trouble-shoot here, but I'd like some help on the best place to start now that I have the pressure sensor hooked up correctly. I don't have two people to check the voltage at medium RPM... So that test will be later today. Any help on what to do now would be accepted with much gratitude. :) Bryan Castles Dallas Air Coolers '65 Panel Bus '69 Squareback www.aircoolers.org www.version3studios.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
