Sounds like #1 to me too. Do you know what rpm you are running at for this test? Only asking because mine in the longitudinal setup shakes a lot more on 3 cylinders and I'm running at about 800rpm or less according to the tach. Maybe I should raise that slightly :? i have no idea what RPM im runnin...

In that video, it sounded like cyl #2 was weak. (Maybe it was just the video). I would pull the injectors, dissemble, and inspect them. See if #2 does have some debris in it. Switch to making biodiesel. It's a bit more work, but you won't be damaging your fuel system. in the video it looks like #1 ...

here is a video i made of my caddy running and the missing cylinder...
you can really tell it inthe exhaust.

the only reason i could see the fuel pulling through the IP was i had filled the fuel filter full of ATF thinking that i was out of gas, but it wasnt. i had these injectors out recently to rebuild them, i guess about 4-5 months ago but i still need those new heat shields i forgot to order yesterday!...

well i havnt had a chance to try cleaning the injectors yet... i had to order some heat sheilds so ill wait for them to come in. i had been running WVO all weekend about 250 miles the two days prior to the incident but i ran out and was back on diesel when it stopped. and i run my oil and diesel thr...

i was thinking that also but i want sure because it was running fine before.
i will clean the injectors out and see if it helps..

my 81 caddy with 1.6 NA diesel died unexpectanly. i hadnt driven it in about 4 hours then pulled it to the front of the house killed it. then 15 minutes later went back out ir fired right up and then i touched the gas and it revved up to about half throttle by itself then started missing for about 4...

ive been searching around the internet for some good scraper seals that my caddy desperatly needs.

i found some at JC whitney but i dont like the quality of their parts at all.

just wondering where i could get some

i think that this might be a rebuilt head, i mean about 5-6 vavles look new and as clean as it is... i think that its good.

this isnt the head that the PO pulled off the motor, this is a whole nother motor.

i can check the valves tomorrow but im missing the cam.
so i cant check the vavle clearances.

well my buddy just picked up a 81 caddy that the PO said he had running at one time, but for some reason he took the head off. and the old head has a few cracks. so i had another parts motor and this is its head... it looks really clean and newish. what do you think... is it useable with these littl...

yea, i tested the glow plug wire ane it was hot with power, but i guess they could have gone bad all at once. and i checked the clear fuel line and i watched the fuel flow into the pump... so i dont think it has a fuel leak problem... and my glowplug light goes on and off like it always has. so i gu...

my 81 caddy has been my most reliable VW so far and its always been a fast starter andruns great until the other day... me and my dad went on about a 400 mile round trip in it and all was well, until we got back home and the next mornig went to start it and it took about 2minutes worth of pure start...

im looking for a vanagon oil pump and sump for a 1.6 diesel NA

im useing them in a diesel conversion into a 74 bus, i have the tranny bellhousing for hte motor but i need the oil parts becasue of the 45* angle of the motor

i found a cabby console and took the oil pressure guage off, it had a place for my stock dash light, and the wire to the guage. its a 0-8 bar guage, and the water temp i have yet to fix, i just robbed another outlet pipe off a later cabby with mounts in the same position as my diesels water outlet. ...

i didnt tap into the pump, the OUT bolt is what goes into the pump.
