I have also found that an oil pump overpressurizing the hydraulic lifters (cam followers) and keep the valves open so compression is lost. This I have only seen once on a rebuilt engine with a new oil pump and I never would have believed it. Engine would start and run for a very short time and then calmly die. Crank over engine and it sounded like no compression unless you let the engine sit for awhile. -- later, dave oh my , i'm going to keep this one in mind and hope I never run across it. |

fine popped it into reverse rolled a bit(synchros are messed up always mess up 1 and reverse ) |
linkage. The car's the right age, too.
Actually, this car sounds like it has a lot wrong with it. I hope you
got it for a song, because if you have to take it to the mechanic all
the time who misdiagnoses things, you're going to find you'd be able to
buy a new car with the money you spent on the mechanic. I suggest you
get a Bentley manual for yourself, and then read up on possible issues
with the car _before_ you take it to the mechanic. An educated
consumer, &c. &c.

everywhere, and I personally know the mechanic. He said either way the
belts going to have to be replaced, same with everyone at the garage
(car is john deer green, everybody knows it at the garage). Since the
car is a non interference engine, the engine is somewhat still fine.
AS for buying another car, its out of the question, I need a car
PRONTO for school and back. Although the car isnt functioning at the
moment, it will (emphasize on "will") be good on gas, which is the
main reason why I purchased the beater.

( moxwer deck , plow , ect....) |
here's the question from me to you
do you spend money now for the water pump ( yeah , i've been a student with
money flow 'issues' ) OR later for the w.p. plus the labor to install it.
quote : an educated consumer &c. &c. unquote, A said ...
it's like fire insurance for your house one day : a little money each month to insure it
, or possible loss of everything in a fire PLUS no ins. money ( always share you're
treasured digital pictures with people that's really cheap insurance )
yeah ok , a little dramatic comparison but you get my drift
i had a 74 99 ems saab one time ( actually a very long time ) that was SUNSET ORANGE
lol, i don't know which car, your j.d. green golf or that saab would get more attention

a giant piece of you know what, A person who has worked with vws their
whole life suggested to check out the coil.
I also should of check the relay... but now that lawn mower wont even
start. It's rather funny because the 1.8s are so small they could pass
for some sort of MEGA mower. Should of never gave up my honda accord
for this, even though I rather hate honda and am a huge VW enthusiast.

lol Ahhh A little bit of miscommunication........I understand you now! But I was referring to the MAIN fuel lines going into and coming out of the fuel distributor both going to the rear of the vehicle (fuel tank). NOT the fuel injector lines. ;-) But you are right about the fuel injector lines. <g -- later, dave (One out of many daves) |
Oh, THOSE lines to the fuel distributor. Yeah, I wouldn't want to argue
that they were interchangeable...

Remember that there is a pressure valve inside of the fuel distributor that holds pressure inside of the fuel distributor. ;-) So having the lines reverse the pressure never got high enough inside of the fuel distributor. I will assume that there was an engine transplant just before it was brought to me. Or SABOTAGE! ;-) The four ports on the fuel distributor on CIS and CIS-e systems do the same thing, there is no timing, no sequencing. The same holds true for the injectors; They are identical, no timing, no sequencing. Crossing the fuel lines between the fuel distributor and the injectors makes no difference. -- later, dave (One out of many daves) "Randolph" <trash (AT) junkmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:45F3ADF8.91B3CC95 (AT) junkmail (DOT) com... dave AKA vwdoc1 wrote: I worked on one VW that would not run. After testing this and that I found out that....... Someone had switched the lines going to the fuel distributor. :-o Just a thought! If the car has CIS (K-Jetronic) or CIS-e (KE-Jetronic) injection, swapping the lines to the injectors from the fuel distributor does not matter, there is continuous flow in all four lines (the "C" in CIS stands for continuous). The cold start injector is different, it only turns on briefly during starting. |

Well this completely suscks, the mechanic replaced the belt and its still not running, tried dist cap, tried everything. I forgot to say that I can only get it to idol if I pump the gas for a bit, but soon as I try to get it in gear, it stalls, like as if it's starving on gas. I don't understand this and neither do the mechanics, it has become quite the brain twister. Also sounds as if it might be choking for air, ive tried looking at the filter but its tough with the idiotic fuel lines in the way. But I dont think that an air filter could get so dirty as to the car not even start properly. |
that the engine won't run. Also the exhaust ( like the inlet of the
cat ) can be blocked to the point the engine wont run.

Also the exhaust ( like the inlet of the cat ) can be blocked to the point the engine wont run. |
