[Vwdiesel] Jetta stopped running saga

[gary]

The pump draws fuel because the solenoid doesn't control flow through 
the pump. It only controls the entry of fuel into the plunger assy.

I do a timing belt about every 18 months the last one was last May, about 20,000 miles ago. So last night I reprimed the pump and it stumbles but never really runs. I even removed the plunger in the stop solenoid.

I apply just a couple of pumps on my hand vacuum pump and it easily sucks fuel from the filter thru the pump. After I removed the stop plunger it didn't really speed up the rate. The fuel being drawn thru is full of air and never really is a solid stream. I use my brake bleeder container with the clear hose and at best always after the aerated stream becomes more solid will always have some air bubbles.

I ran that Jetta up to 480,000 miles the pump leaked slightly from the throttle shaft so reliability is a question. The other pump has been in my garage attic for about ten years and is of unknown condition.
