It's very strange. Low system voltage will make the FI run rich and keep a carbed car from opening its chokes. Either way slows the engine warmup.

Nope, just one that I've verified the actual resistance of before I send it off. Otherwise, there's always this nagging question.... In your case, just comparing with your new replacement generator should tell you what's up. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
