[Vwdiesel] Latest updates on '81 rabbit

Make sure your inj. Pump is full (ATF will do).  If you have any help,
tow-start it until it stays running- gets all the air out of the lines
while saving your starter and battery.  Sounds like you need to get a
fast relay, fast!  Did you check your battery connections for shine
while you were there?

Hi all,
     Well, after much warning about how hard it is to change out all
GP's, I
got them out last night in about 30 minutes, and in today in about 1
hour,
including getting the GP bus and injector lines hooked back up.  Hardest
part was getting the nut on the #2 GP.  Took me about 10 minutes to get
that
one on.  My GP relay is staying on for 50 seconds, so I didn't connect
the
hot wire to the GP bus.  I turned on the ignition, put the hot wire on
the
bus for 8 seconds and then removed, and started turning the rabbit over.
After a little cranking to get fuel back in the lines, she hit and
immediately went flat again.  I hit the GP's for a few more seconds and
hit
her again to the same conclusion.  Did this about 4-5 times.  She hits
and
then goes out again.  So, any ideas on this one?  Fuel gauge says she
has
fuel, but I'll stop by and get a yellow jug and put another gallon or 2
of
diesel in her just to be for sure.  I did notice the negative battery
cable
was loose so tighted it down and put the battery charger on her.  Figure
I'll try again procedure in a few hours and see what happens.  BTW, of
course since I'm working outside today, weather decides to start
dropping
snow on me.  How appropriate I figure!

Bryant
