ok. I'm back...

The Jetta has been running great, but the IP has developed a leak at the seal between the main part of the body and the section where the fuel lines exit. Can that seal be changed without a full rebuild of the pump?

And, where can I order parts? Thanks!

It worked!!! I came out to try again and it revved up too high, so I shut it down and began to resign myself to real work. But, I had the thought that if the diesel purge had worked at all perhaps I could tap lightly on the IP and poof! That did the trick. It started up and just purred like it has f...

Update:

I have diesel purge in the system now. But, I assume this is a "hail Mary," so where can read about how to get to those flyweights? I know very little about the IP, so it this something that I can work on without removing the pump? Time to educate myself.

Thanks!

Thanks. Your post made me realize that I didn't explain the rise of RPMs well. When I say I let it idle, I meant I didn't put my foot on the pedal. It was exactly like it was floored and jumped up to about 4500rpm (I'm guessing because the tach was bouncing all over), and then started to rise more s...

Great! That makes sense. I'll try the Diesel purge idea and see how it goes. It would sure be sweet if that cleared it up. This car is not in the best of shape, so trying cheap and easy things first makes the most sense. If I can get the engine running smoothly, I'll start thinking about all the oth...

Thanks!

Thanks folks! It sat for almost two years, but mostly in my garage. Yes, black smoke - and it sounded like it was a whole lot of "knocking/dieseling." It wasn't pretty.... No air filter at the moment, and no nest... I've checked, and the lines are clear between injectors. In fact, they are...

Hello for the first time. I've already learned a bunch about my fuel system by reading through several threads. Great discussions! But, I have a question I can't seem to find.... I have a 1985 Jetta GL, 1.6. It's been sitting for some time because after sitting for a few days it became hard to start...
