Sure, but we really don't have enough data to narrow it down yet. I don't know what exactly was getting "worse and worse" and we don't know whether this has to do with warmup (likely) or just something going wrong at that time (less likely.) What did "worse and worse" mean? Was the engine getting weaker and weaker? Was the engine missing, more and more frequently. Was the engine dying more and more frequently? These are all different things with different sets of possible causes. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
