VW Quantum help

[Fluhr <ejfluhr@austin.ibm.com>]

Gang,

I need some help.  A fellow in the Austin VW/Audi club was "given" a
1986 VW Quantum (5-cyl).  The catch is that the car hasn't run in two
years.  Since I am the only Audi guy in the Austin VW/Audi club, I
offered to help fix it up.  Of course, I figured the engine and fuel
injection system was just like the 4Kq, but leave it to VW to redesign
much of the entire darn car.  :-(

Unlike the 4000/CGT, the fuel pump is not under the car.  If I am right,
it appears to be in the fuel tank itself, accessible by removing a cover
plate in the trunk.  However, it has three wires running to it
(red/yellow, black/purple, and brown), and I do not know how they
control the pump (brown is ground, I know).  The engine is not getting
any fuel, and I cannot hear the fuel pump when the engine is cranking
or when I apply power directly to the fuse.  I suspect a wiring
problem or dead fuel pump.

If anyone can explain the Quantum's fuel pump to me (and how to remove
it, as well), I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks,
Eric
