face=Arial>You are SO close to Keith Park, and he is one of the best FI
resources on<BR>this site. My suggestion to you would be to please take Keith
up on his<BR>offer to help you get your ride running with the stock FI. From
what you've<BR>told us, it certainly sounds like the mechanics you have
working on your car<BR>don't know enough about FI to get yours running right.
And if they are<BR>asking for help in converting to carbs - they are not very
experienced with<BR>dual carbed type 3's either. I'll bet you Keith can get
your T3 running<BR>good, and it will cost you WAY less than paying someone to
convert your ride<BR>to carbs. You may be SO close to having a great running
stock FI VW - why<BR>not let him look at it first before you shell out
more money to a<BR>questionable mechanic?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dave does raise a good point, in that most of your FI is in place, most
of it does work, and it had been working up until you had trouble. And being
close by to Keith, this would probably be your best bet for getting it up and
running correctly with the FI, and doing so for minimum cost.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, like Jim mentioned, "quoting Jim,</DIV>
<DIV>One more thing: if Joy's problem is dirt/rust in the gas tank, this
<BR>will continue to haunt her either way. Her mechanic installed my
<BR>overflow kit, but that doesn't do anything about the rust & dirt
<BR>that's already there. It's a lot of work to get rid of all that, and
<BR>it's likely that her mechanic didn't do it."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This part might take a little longer to correct, and might be the root
cause of your trouble. You might need the injectors cleaned, and have the pump
looked at too, not to mention the main lines and pressure regulator might have
some of this sediment in them as well. That's part of the reason Jim worked on
his vent/overflow kits, as he saw that can cause issues that just work their
way thru the entire system (causing other problems down the line).<BR>
