I suspect it's more random than that; you've just been "lucky." Get someone to listen with you to make sure the FP (fuel pump, right?) really isn't running and then start checking all the obvious things: fuse, wiring, etc. Get a clip lead to "hot wire" the fuel pump while you test, so if you touch the problem and it suddenly starts working you'll know where to concentrate your search. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
