[Vwdiesel] Injectors - UPDATE

[TexasTDI]

First I should mention this problem is on my TDI.

I checked the GP's and harness last night per the Bentley manual.
Everything is working as it should.

My new MAF should be in today.  I'm going to replace the MAF, air filter,
and fuel filter.  I'm also going to run a can of Diesel Purge through the
system.  Hopefully this will cure the problem.

If it doesn't, I guess I'll be getting a set of Kerma Injector nozzles.
http://kermatdi.com  I'll get the PP520's.  They're OEM nozzles on the 110hp
TDI.  So they would give me a nice power increase.  };o)
