Have you messed with the timing? Timing could be retarded too much. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 07, 2000 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: New year, new car, new problems
Ok, now that we are actually into Y2K(with no major problems), I would like to start dealing with some of the problems with my new toy. Here's what I know so far: The wiring to the ISV is screwed up somehow, I think it's the ground wire that's messed up. Symptoms: The car has no power below 2500rpm Misses at idle(sometimes slightly, sometimes really bad) Idle sounds like it is fluctuating ever so slightly, but that never shows on the tach. Hesitates slightly under either heavy or light load. I'm sure that at the very least some of this has to do with that messed up wire. However, after reading the Bentley, I'm thinking that it might also be a bad idle switch on the throttle body. Does anyone have any other ideas? The weather is actually quite nice here in Virginia, so I think I will take advantage and fix some stuff. Anyone have any ideas? If I must, I can always drop it at the dealership and have them run the 1551 through it. -Dave '91 GLI 16V _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
