It sounds like you've done your homework, and I've never seen this happen. There is ONE situation that I've seen mention this, but that is with a particular (mis-) setting of the Bosch FI tester box switches. While brain box failures ARE rare, they are bound to get more frequent as these cars get older. I have spare B brains, which are the ones you want, and I would be willing to sell you one to swap in. If it doesn't help you could return it and I would refund your money, less the postage. If you could find a FI tester to check out the rest of the components and wiring first, that would be ideal, because there just might be a chaffed wire that is causing this problem (although I don't know of any kind of short that should do this.). You're in Maryland. If there's someone closer to you that would be even more convenient than getting one from me. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
