Zoltan......
nice thoughtful expressions there.
May your injectors start getting the pulses they need !
and...........let's be sure...........making sure we stay PC
here.....................since there must be strick adhearance to 'the
rules' ...........
that NO ONE says 'merry christmas' in a few weeks from now, on this list.
Sure wouldn't want to see that !
Like you know..............ah.....'lighten up' ........one guy says 'sure is
weird not one person said Happy Thanksgiving on this list'........
then all kinds of stuff comes down....................
Incnluding a reminder to not do things like say 'happy holidays all vanagon
people' on here, and how it's correct list use to NOT say thingsd like
happy thanksgiveing everyone.
Now THAT is being way, way too policitally correct !
I'll try to be quite on the subject now.
at my group................'turbovans' at yahoo groups........
you can talk about almost ANYTHING, particularily if any group members find
it useful or interesting.
And Zoltan might look at the small black wire and connector at terminal 15
on the coil.
And I'm still wondering if his ECU pre-runs the fuel pump when the key is
turned on.
One other thing too............those 2.1's............there can be fine
power to the starter, but due to a poor connection in the main power large
wire at the altnernator or starter............somewhere in that 12 volts
battery circuit............you can have fine cranking but not voltage in
other critically needed spots.
My close buddy M. Drillock pointed that out one time, most astutely.
