But seriously, did you try this.
About half way down on this page, is a resistance check you might want to perform. It'll tell you IF you have any breaks in the FI wiring harness.

I only ask, as you might have a broken wire. If the harness checks out ok, then the brain went bad, rare, but can happen.

when replacing the ignition switch some sparks were made after we put the original one back in because the new one wasn't right. havent figured out what sparked but now I have a new ignition switch in the car and it wont give me any lights on the dash or anything at all just turn it to on and nothing, could it have been the headlight switch? the headlight switch has two # 30 terminals on it which should be plugged in to the ignition switch?   |

Yes, actually there's 3 #30 terminals on the headlight switch. One of them is battery + (from the battery) and the second one goes from there to the ignition switch (those 2 should be side by side). And the 3rd one goes to the fuse box. You might have knocked 1 of the battery hot leads off, and it touched ground or something. That's why you unplug the battery before doing any electrical work, and make sure everything is connected real good (no loose fitting connections) before you plug it back in.

So I there should be two wires hooked to the headlight switch side by side? I only have the one coming from the ignition switch, what color is the other with ?
color is red, it got unplugged and now it works, new turn signal arm as well. next is to tackle the FI.  |

have not done the resistance check yet, what would be maine cause for injectors not firing at all? |

Trigger point plug on the distributor not seated completely, or the ground wire from the center of that plug not getting a good connection.

I had a different link (posted above), but it's very similar. However, both lists contain ifo on the throttle switch and pressure sensor (MPS) that don't really apply to your car (yours is the earlier version). But yes, you can work off that list too. Ground wire connections on early FI cars (68&69) are in different locations from the later cars. The 68-69 cars ground connections are on the sheet tin (cooling tins), versus a central location (later cars) of the breather stand stud.

GOT IT TO START!!!! found out the head temperature sensor (sensor II) is bad through the test on this http://www.vclassics.com/archive/efi.htm
best place to get a new one? are they all the same for vw's (probably not)? |

The head temp sensor can be bought at any of the good VW parts suppliers like ISP, CIP, just to name 2. Be sure you test the new one, and compare the readings it gives (with the chart in the link I provided above), as they're not all created the same, meaning you might have to balast it with a resistor.

| getting one today at a local shop. Balast? putting a resistorsending the wrong on it so it reads properly/ not sending the wrong signal? |

The idea behind the resistor, is to get the sensor to work more in the range for the ECU. The newer sensors have a tendency to be off about 200 ohms, which can make the engine very lean once fully warmed up. By putting a 200 ohm resistor in series with the sensor, you're correcting it for your application. This is why I suggested testing it against the chart. Some are off, and some aren't.

Got the new sensor and it's running a lot better now, no major plans right now, just trying to see how the engine holds up for a little while. The car was smoking quite a bit when we first got it running, seems to have subsided quite a bit. when it wasn't running we tried to use some started fluid a few times, so most likely the culprit, searching for a new motor to build up stock if it comes to that or rebuild the current one, which ever turns out easiest/economic.
EDIT: Stopped smoking/has come very very close to completely not smoking
hopefully the engine is not an addict and returns to smoking |

Need some help, my spark plugs keep fouling and I keep losing a cylinder, going to get new spark plugs all around tomorrow, it seems to be running a bit rich lately, any way to make it run leaner? definitely needs a tune up
good news,
New brakes, pads, rotors, drums
new wheels

Check the charging system voltage. You're looking for 14.1 to 14.5 volts at 2300 rpms. If it's less than 13.9, the car will run rich.
The new rims should look very good on it.
