Hey guys. Success!!! An 8$ Meyle ign switch, 20 min, and poof it's starts now. It's a little notchy now, but thanks for putting me in the correct direction!!

Yessir!! Toggle that's my last resort!!! It just bugs the s out of me to not know the answer to this mystery. 82 vdubman thanks for the input I don't know if the plugs are still powered. I don't know if I can trace the power supply to the solenoid, could be difficult. It would stand to reason that t...

I see the fuel cut wire(red/blk) goes into box at d15, then gets power directly from term 30. Term 30 goes to P? then ign. (In the Bentley.)
How does a8 play into it? It doesn't show that in the manual. My wire is blk/red just like the book says. This is all too confusing

Ok all of they warning lights go off when starting. Glow plug, batt. So what does this exactly mean. And how does one fix it?
It seems weird because in the on position all is well. There must be a link from starter to run position ?

Hi After much much diagnosing on the 85 jetta which has left me not starting more and more, I found the problem. I don't know how to fix it!!! The fuel cut-off wire to the solenoid works great with the key on. However, when you start the car all voltage is lost!!!! And she closes the solenoid and yo...

Shoot I thought that was weird
Going towards the car is advance right? Well this pump drops when doing that and towards you it picks up ??????

What amazes me more than you Iron-clad integrity Rick is your ability to write in such informed and concise manner. Are you a writer by profession? This is what raise filmjackets.com to a level wa movement in the muscle with the Congressmen obviously don't have time to handle every detail of their h...

ya, the parts are crap...guess the pump is also....but its runnin...will have to hold me over til the other one is rebuilt locally....I hope I am not damaging the engine!!!

update... There is a ton of spring pressure and the throttle is resting hard on the screw. I took the throttle arm off and moved it over a notch. This gave me more adjustment with the screw....thinking I may be to far into the advance or something. Here was and still is the problem....... I can stea...

I've heard if your motor is too advanced, the cold start will have no effect...hence the too many marbles I have. Pete Rothenbacher of dieselvw.com built the pump. sketchy? maybe... Im going to take my later style pump in to a local diesel shop for a quality rebuild. but Im running this one until th...

one more bit... in the morning when I pull the cold start I can feel the resistance of pulling the lever. however, once it is running you can pull it in and out like nothing is there. BTW, the cold start has no impact on how the engine is running cold or warm.

okay wow, coulda used that info 4 days ago. that is the style pump i took off!!! because it was running away...could have been that screw! anyway, no I don't have that style on there now...just a simple cold start lever. its nailing a bunch at .038" timing. thinking of hillbilly tuning it this ...

I have no method of adding a pic, but It is the style with an upper and lower return spring on the throttle. if the idle screw messes with pressure, then how does one lower the idle...the adjustment on the arm itself?

Hi, put a rebuilt pump on and it was idling at 1200. backed the idle screw down, down, down, down...to almost nothing left! Im at 950 now, but when cold she idles at 600. When coming off the freeway....at the first stoplight- its back at 600 until a quick rev brings her back to 950 where she'll stay...

weights must be stuck.....changed to another pump and all is better however i have a new problem....new thread...thank you to all!!!!
