[Vwdiesel] won't stay running

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

Well the turbo injection pump wants to run full throttle. I have no idea how
long the engine sat before I got it but apparently long enough for the
diesel in the injection pump to turn to glue. We installed a non turbo pump
today and the engine runs fine. We will get the diesel 1990 Fox wagon with
its 1.6 turbo diesel and VW Quantum 9Q 5 speed sorted out and running with
the N/A injection pump. I will get my Turbo injection pump to Diesel Fuel
Injection Service in Portland Oregon this week and get it cleaned, adjusted
and sealed as needed.

Progress at hand. Today we put a thumper pump between the fuel filter and
the injector pump. The engine started and ran but the idle was very fast. We
removed the thumper and the engine starts and stays running but is still
very fast at idle. Tomorrow I will put the intake and return lines into a
can of Diesel Purge, run that through the pump and hope for the best. I
believe it is as I suspected a gunked up injector pump from setting for a
long unknown period with old fuel in it. I hope it clears up since I don't
have a spare turbo injection pump.

Hi Folks;
We just got my 1.6 turbo engine installed in my 90 Fox 2 door wagon. We had
pulled the head and cleaned things up but otherwise it as I bought it at an
auction at Enamclaw WA this spring. The owner had died so I have no idea how
long the engine set since it was pulled with all accessarys from a car. We
fired the engine yesterday and after the usual bleeding and fussing it
starts readily. The problem is that it starts runs smooth and dies soon
thereafter( Very soon). It doesn't respond to throttle movement. It was late
when we did it so we will try again today. Anyone have any ideas?
