I doubt any of us are getting sick of your posts. More likely some of us wish we were close enough to help.

Trust me, I'm getting sick of asking questions about this!! It was suggested to me that I check the injectors with a VOM to see if they are shorted out. Took both my digital and analog meters and checked. Analog meter set to 1K, touch leads together and needle pegs to zero-touch leads to injectors-meter pegs to zero. Sooooooo, does this mean that I received the injectors back shorted out, I installed them, turned the key and blew out my Euro spec ECU? Then hours later put my original ECU back in and blew it too? I hope not. Anybody in N. Virginia willing to let me plug my ECU's into their (1.9) Vanagons and see if they are any good? If the ECU's are in fact ruined, I have a decision to make. I have a Subaru 2.2 I was going to put into the Vanagon, last thing thing was saving up the $$ to have Tom Shiels modify the harness. I can't afford another ECU. Well, I can, but I don't see the sense in pouring more money into it at this point. N ow, when I bought this Vanagon 15 months ago it had a seized engine. First thought was a Subaru conversion, but I found a 2.1 and followed Jim Thompson's write up and put it in using the Digijet injection. It ran beautifully, so well, in fact that I thought the hell with the Subaru conversion. Then I ran it low on fuel coming back from Everybus in April-VERY low. After filling up, I barely made it home. Found the fuel filter totally clogged. Replaced that and it was running again-but it never had the power it did originally. Changed out the fuel filter again a month ago, but it was clean. That led me to think that the injectors may be the problem. Sent them off to be cleaned and sure enough they come back with a report showing 3 of the 4 were in bad shape. Great, I thought, this had to be were my lost power was. Christmas day I put my newly cleaned injectors back in, eagerly anticipating taking it for a drive-now here I am with a dead Vanagon. Wish I had it back with the low power! Jeff PS- I don't want this message to start a debate about the merits of the Subaru conversion! |
