After fixing my gas leak, the car ran great for a few days, got seemingly good gas mileage (my odometer is still broken). On my way back from a long drive, I noticed it was starting to suck down gasoline again, and was sputtering when pushing down the throttle, especially when trying to get up to speed. No gasoline leaks though. Tried to take it to work this morning and it didn't want to go. Sputtered and resisted until it warmed up, and even then it's not running well at all. I'm gathering it's running extremely rich (how rich can a car run and still "run?")... I also noticed it's been idling very high, and this started around the same time it started sucking down gasoline. I didn't want to play with the idle adjustment because it was set perfectly before, and I did notice that at one stoplight it seemed like things had been "fixed" for the moment, so I'm afraid if I adjust that and get it out of whack I'll start stalling at lights once I figure out what else might be going on. Any ideas? Fuel pressure? I haven't checked that yet... ===== Aaron Clow - http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ '71 FI AT Square - On the Road '71 FI AT Fasty - Off the Road '71 AT Square - the Parts Bin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
