Re: NOW: Fuel Pump Install...WAS: EGR VALVE! '87 Golf

The hole is supposed to have an aluminum plug inserted in it. The
older cars had a rubber plug so you could adjust a mixture screw
inside there. If someone removed the plug then someone was messing
with something that should not have been messed with. The newer cars
adjust their mixture with the feedback loop of the oxygen sensor.
Refer to your Bentley for the proper basic setting for that adjustment
for your car.

Define tiny in inches or millimeters. My 84 had a smaller fuel filter
than what it could take. Smaller was maybe an inch smaller in diameter
but the filter was still about 3 inches in diameter.

Look on the hood for a vacuum tubing diagram. If your hood is from
your car it should have the hose routing there. At least that was true
in 1984.

For the past 3 weeks I have heard nothing but " TAKE THAT THING TO THE
SCRAP" but no sirry am I giving up, this summer I want to rebuild the
engine with my mechanic freind, wel in some new *** metal in some
areas, and such and such. Yea it does sound like I am getting close,
Im having a *bitch* of time getting the motor on time, the cam pulley
has more timing marks then I dont even know actually, its almost as if
the guy was trying to do his home work on the damn thing. anyways
Tomorrow I will do the timing, the thing that really got me though is
how the mechanic hooked up the pump, no accumulator, and just an open
valve on the pump itself rendering the pump nothign but useless. And
he wondered why the thing refused to stay running properly.

any help here with the mech. timing marks?

Woofa! I opened my valve cover before and thought my motor was
basically screwed (driven to crap) because there was no bearing cap on
#4. Feeling of relief.

what about a fuel filter? The one that the guy installed is tiny,
atleast 1/8th the size of the bosch filter. You think this could be
causing some problems? and also there is a hole drilled in the fuel
dist, not actually in it but the huge metal plate that sits ontop of
the airbox. My freind said that the engine is probably getting too
much air. Also what abotu the vaccum advance that goes to the
distrubitor, is this needed, because I dont have one. The line is jsut
plugged there.
