I don't understand this part. There really isn't any such thing as "past closed" with the FI IAD. It stops where it runs into the wall and shuts off. It should not be stopped by the cable. This makes me wonder if your IAD is extremely worn, but I've never seen one that was that bad. > Fixed a few bad connections in the FI wiring.

Sounds good, and it will probably improve after the engine goes thru some heat cycles which allow the big IAD hoses to soften and conform to the tubes better. > Seems to be missing on #1 after it warms up, and #3 injector leaks just > enough near the connector to bleed off pressure when it's shut off so > I've got to work on those problems, but those aren't nearly so > mysterious to sort out. Leakage may fix itself in a few days. Let the gas absorb into the O-rings and swell them a bit. Is your charging system regulating voltage above 13.5V (warm engine, med rpm?) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
