| check the ground wires that are hidden down by the spark plugs. Seems a LOT of people knock them off when giving the car a tune up, then it won't run. |

Make sure your wires that connect to the clips that connect to the injectors are connected good and proper.
I've got a really good mechanic over here he knows a lot about Fi VW's my square was Fi at one point...until I went nuts and simplified the problem by putting a dual carb 1600 in!
Heres his number if you're really stuck! George and Burrny's VW 604-731-8644 ask for Aman he has diagnosed many of the problems I had with my old engine! Needa new ECU? |

| thanks, i figured it out finally, so dumb, the screw that holds down the points was loose, plus it was running really rich so the atmospheric pressure sensor got leaned out so its not running like a champ, but a retired one, anyone know how hard it would be to change a steering dampener? mine is shot. |

It's really easy, I think I did my '66 in about 10 minutes. The nuts have torque settings so use a torque wrench. |
