I think type 3s were the only D-Jet cars out there, so their injectors were black. Starting in 70 we were joined by a bunch of other makes, so I'm guessing that Bosch opted to try colorcoding the injectors and we got yellow. There were several other colors as well. The electrical connector on the L-Jet injectors are completely different, so their color coding is separate. > >Who knows, these might be fine, also. > I guess the only way to really test them is to deliver fuel at 28psi and > trigger it, and the only way I can reasonably do that is in the car.

They should be 2-3 ohms at any temp, since they are expected to run at wide temp extremes. If the coils are open they are junk, but I've actually NEVER seen that happen. It's most likely that you just didn't make a good connection to them. Try it again. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
