Thanks for the tips, but the ecu was bad. I assume from
perhaps being hooked up incorrectly, at least at first,
when the previous shop worked on the thing. Ecu looked
good, smelled ok, but would not ground the injectors. A
used one did the trick. Dr. Dave.

____________________ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: _____________________

van towed to me as no start. ran when at other shop, they
installed clutch and had no start. let me clarify this, it
will start and run for 2 seconds on the fuel from the cold
start injector, but there is no injector pulse. it has fuel
pump and pressure, spark, will run on propane but has no
injector pulse. The other shop said they marked the wiring
that they had to remove from the coil and such in order to
remove engine. it does look like everything is in the
proper place, but no run. I need to ask the VW techs out
there for the efi schematics or wiring for the injection
system so I can unravel the mystery for this shop. Fax # is
1-937-778-1213. Please try to help if you have something or
if you know something to try. You can also call
1-888-872-1221 or 1-937-778-1221 and get me direct. Thanx a
lot people. Dr. Dave.
