The pump is only two or so years old.  I.I.R.C., it is for a V.W. Van,
and is not a rebuilt unit.  Do not smell any gasoline around, so doubt 
there is leaks,, but guess I could look around.

I figured out how to make the pump run, by shorting the two wires 
together with a screwdriver.  Does not really seem to help starting, as
it takes several cranks to get it started, and then runs odd a second,
then is fine.  Only thing I changed was the fuel pressure gauge, think-
ing it was holding pressure.  I did check the injectors, and they are 
not leaking, and the hard starting was the same with the other 
injectors.  Figure run though the tests, and be sure it is not some-
thing I have missed. ;)


Thank you so very much!
