Both wires go into the FI wiring harness, but only the temp sensor wires actually go to the brain. > r would the easiest way to find out is to > remove the cover to the brain and use a VM to find > each individual wire? You could carefully push back the boot on the connector that is there and find the numbers on it, then compare those numbers to the FI wiring diagram. Once you know which connector THAT one is, then you know what the other one WAS, by elimination. > I just checked if there was oil in the IAD and there > was a puddle I wiped it all out then started her up > she still smoked but not as much.

This MIGHT be the source of the puddle you felt. If this is what happened then it should settle down eventually as that oil gets consumed. If there is a deep puddle in there, then it would be best to minimize how much of this you actually let go thru the engine (it's full of abrasive dirt, after all) so it might be wise to try to empty the IAD. If your car is earlier than 72-3 then you should be able to pull the pressure sensor hose off and let it drip out of there. You could even splash some gas in the IAD, scrub it around with an old toothbrush and let it all drain and then dry. > the leak is definately not coming from the injectors because after > running it for a minute or so there is a puddle underneath the pass. > side tin again about 8-10 inches across.

There is a gas return line on that side. > After i turned her off I rechecked the IAD for oil and there was a tiny > bit but it seemed to only go into the IAD about an inch and didnt seem > to go into the "BODY" of the IAD. As if it had been drawn in from the air cleaner? Consider wiping out the inside of the rubber intake elbow and the throat of the air cleaner. Remember that the upper half of the air cleaner should always be held upright. > The onlyother possible place it could be leaking from > is the pressure regualtor it was already leaking > before but ive tightened up all the > clamps....otherwise it is also dripping off the > breather pipe and the dipstick pipe.... Does your breather pipe have a short hose that connects it to the oil fill pipe? When you insert your dipstick can you feel the spring loaded center rod touch bottom just before the cap goes all the way closed? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
