>Dear Digijet experts:
> I have a '84 Vanagon. Last week I was driving down the highway and the
>engine suddenly stalled without any warnings. I first examined the fuel
>pump and it was making  a clicking noise (ie. it  was being turned on and
>off repeatedly.) I tested the pump and it works fine. I tried to hardwire
>the pump to see if the engine would start, but got nada. It had fuel
>pressure and all of the other start-up procedures work(ie. starter,
>ignition,).  I assum the control unit must be fried and is not opening the
>injectors and causing the fuel pump relay to switch on and off.
>Please give me any input you can.
>If anyone knows who might have a used computer let me know. VW wants $600
>for a new one, Parts Place says $450 for a used one. There is a local
>Parts America Store that says they can order a rebuilt one for $170 after
>exchange (sounds too good to be true).
>Thanks Marc Rainville
