Re: Not hitting......

["Ken Buck" <phillyscca@enter.net>]

The 78 Scirocco I drive daily sat in a bone yard for two years.  It 
was retired due to a poorly running engine.  After I bought the car 
for real cheap, I first pulled the injectors and got what you 
described, dribble and spittling.  Whe I pulled he injector lines 
from the fuel distribter, I found a white scale buildup in the 
distributor and lines.  I replaced the lines from another bone yard 
special.  You know your lines and injectors are clean.

Unbolt the distributor from the airbox.  When you lift the 
distributor, there is a metal pin in the center.  Don't let that pin 
fall out, and don't touch the sides of the pin with your fingers.  
Use 2+2 to blow out all the holes in the distributor. use a little 
light oil on the sliding shaft (WD40).  Reassemble and try it.

Also take the lines off the pressure regulator (on the front of the 
engine block) and blow that out with 2+2.  This was my main problem.  
I replaced this pressure regulator with a bone yard special, and know 
she runs fine.

Remember, you can swap almost any parts from a rabbit, so bone yard 
parts come cheap.

Hope this helps......
