Ur-q is FINALLY up and running very well!!

Hi guys. Finally got it all sorted. With the help of LL and Toby, we 
discovered the air sensor plate was out of spec, due to broken clip on the 
stop spring. Went junk yarding and got a couple of these parts from a Jetta 
and a 5k. Installed them and set the plate height. Tried starting it, but it 
was flooding like crazy. Replaced injectors and o-rings, same thing. Removed 
plugs, cranked it over to see what was up with that, and it was raining gas 
under the hood! Pulled the fuel pump fuse, replaced plugs, cranked it over 
and it wanted to start. Hmm... Kept playing with the mixture screw till I 
finally got it right. Car started and was able to idle, but VERY rough. I 
then remembered after all the cranking with no spark (turned out to be 
ignition switch), to check the oil for gas contamination. Sure enough, it was 
watered down enough for the oil pressure light to go on. Changed the oil and 
filters. STILL ran rough. After checking all sensors, grounds, fuses and 
chasing other electrical gremlins, I put on a Hall sender plug from a 4 cyl 
Jetta. ( Force 5 Auto). Nothing gained. 
 To find out what was going on there, I put my timing light on each plug 
wire, one at a time. No spark on #5. I found that by jiggling the cap, it 
would spark on #5, but not on #1. So... I looked at the old Hall sender 
connector to see if I had soldered the wires to the right ones going to the 
'puter Looked like it.(the wires were not colored the same as the original 
connector). The wires coming out of the boot were soldered to the wires as 
they were coming out of the boot. Then I double checked and triple checked. 
Hmm. Not soldered to the right wire according to the colors of the wires from 
old connector. Took off the boot, and two wires were crisscrossed in side the 
boot! So I UN crisscrossed them, resoldered everything, fired her up and went 
for a spin. Runs great, very smooth idle, I have ALL my boost back and I'm 
VERY happy!!!
Thanks for all the help

Gary
