1st off, let me congratulate myself on getting another mk2! <applause> and even better, I got it for free < evil grin >
187k miles, tad bit of rust, nothing a little effort couldn't fix. I got the car for free, because the owners mechanic told him ALL 6 injectors had gone bad on him. ( which I find highly unlikely as it was running 3 days ago ) anywho, it had to be out of the mechanics garage today by 5pm so I offered to take it off his hands. My Blackpra has major issues right now, so I was thinkin' great parts car. But after fiddling around w/ the fuel pump check connecter, and finally hearing the fuel return from the regulator, the car finally started up! < still dancing merrily > I'm thinking the guy was gonna get stiffed hundreds of $$$ for new injectors when all it needs is a tune up, especially that fuel filter. I guess the plugs were really fouled out, I'm guessing from running lean? But it sputtered around the parking lot, dying a few times. Apparently it doesn't seem like the injectors are the issue although I will probably stuff a couple of cans of cleaner down the throttle body
what do y'all think?
