There's nothing to "adjust." You have to find and fix what has gone wrong. First thing to check would be the pressure sensor hose connections, just make sure one end of the hose didn't fall off. Next check the charging system voltage; it should put the battery voltage above 14V with a warm engine at med RPM. If the voltage is low, replace the voltage regulator with a Bosch 30-019. Oh, and you should probably start by rechecking all the usual tuneup items: valve lash, dwell, timing. > and when you rev the motor... to about 4500 and let it go back to > idle, its like it dies... but catch's itself before it does... is that > a fuel injection thing... if so... thats wierd.... It's not weird, but it is the FI. The FI shuts down completely when it's not needed. In other words, why put fuel into an engine that is only trying to slow the car down? > and does anyone have any pictures on how everything should look > on a F.I. motor... becuase im not so sure of some things. You need a Bentley manual, for this and many other reasons. No point in even considering working on this car yourself unless you have a good manual. I have a decent Bentley available here. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
