[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions? Injection pump

[mark shepherd]

Bill
Before you get over excited and throw more money uneccessarily away.
Undo the fuel lines at the injectors. Lift nuts away. Crank engine to see if 
you get fuel coming out of lines. Don't worry about  zillion's of psi  etc. 
An open tube generates no more than a few psi at best, and the volumes are 
less than a petit pois. If you get fuel out. No fuel? then remove inner of 
stop solenoid.
Next is to check by hand cranking with a wratchet that the pulse of fuel out 
of #1 injector line coincides with with TDC for #1 and with the cam lobes 
showing compression stroke [ If a rocker baffle is installed you need to 
remove the rocker cover, otherwise lobes are visible through the oil filler 
cap...]
Do these things and then come back with the results....

NB:
With the 'parts place' look for the forum not the parts list [unless you 
need something]
