Re: [mk2-16v] Idle evens out once warm. Motronic

Ok so I think my problem lies in the connection at the dpr. I wiggled the connector while warming up and the idle shot up to 1100 rpm. The only issue is I can't find the part number for the connector. The website link I posted earlier is for the fuel injector. I'm also having a problem with my

Can anyone help me get removed from this list? Using the options below to opt out are useless as I log into Google Groups and shows that I am not a member. I sold my 91 Jetta GLI 16v in 2005 to a friend. The 16v blew up within a year. In went a VR6. Then rust got to it and the car was cut up a

You can try a local vw dealer for the connector parts (or http://www.germanautoparts.com/ - that is who I use most of the time for vw stuff). Also, the metal contacts can be removed from the connector if you release them properly. Ifyou are able to remove them to squeeze them tighter or replace w

That's what I used to do. At some point, I acquired an assortment of the various types of individual contacts for the electrical connectors on my '92. I had the proper extraction tools for the various types as well. The connectors which VW used on the Mk1& 2 cars were really problematic. With the a

I wiggled the connector again while warming up and nothing. Still idled rough at 800 rpm then shot to 1000 rpm then drove and idled fine. The voltage regulator was replaced less than two months ago. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group. T

It's possible that the connection to the DPR has finally degraded to the point where wiggling it no longer affects its operation. At one point when I was having charging issues, I ended up swapping the regulator for a new one which didn't solve the problem, so I swapped it again for a old spare I h

Ok, here's what's SUPPOSED to happen: When you turn the key on, the bulb in the dash should light. When you turn the key to start, everything goes dark. Once you release the key and the engine is running, the alternator bulb should remain out if it is charging normally. If the bulb illuminates, the

Just read a post off an alternator charging thread on vwvortex, "Also check the dash light, mine doesn't work and I must rev it up past 3500 rpm to get it to charge. The light is what excites it." I guess once the ignition is switched to the second position, 12v goes to the indicator bulb on the
