Haveing problem keeping my rabbit running it seems to not want to start after it in the warm cycle. I pulled the injectors and looked at them two looked ok with pressure and cranking the engine the othe two are looking like they are slightly clogged I am replacing all 4 of them. The question is will I need to reset my mass air flow valve when I have completed the replacement??

Unless you've messed with it trying to figure out the problem, you shouldn't have to.

Well, the truth be told I have recovered this rabbit from the grave... Its not ran in a few years I had to change, fuel :twisted: pump, filter, dist., and now injectors nedless to say I did have to move the adjustment just to get it to run. Now that its running when the engine is hot it hard to start , I think the dwell is what could be causing it ( its got to be a fuel or spark issue) normal process if one good then the other is not.... or it would run fine..

I had a similar problem with my Rabbit, it turned out to be the fuel pump relay.

It seems that this was not only problem the fuel pump relay was bad but the Fuel tank had rust in it... I found this out by removing the fuel lines at the filter to perform quality check. it passed but on the small side so i doubled it and it failed by removing the main line to the fuel pump for the tank and I had to push compressed air in to the tank to get fuel out of it... bad deal new tanks is here next it putting it in...
