Re: [tech 16v] timing and compression

Admittedly I don't know jack about the 16V motor but if the fuel system is
CIS-E it may be running in the limp home mode.

It is possible that you got water inside the electrical connector for the
temp sensor and know the computer is running in "safe" mode.

I had this happen on my GTI motor and the symptoms were similar. Very rough
idle or stall, no acceleration and it just bucked like crazy if I jumped on
the gas to get the rpms up.

ok, cam timing is good, i finally found the cam sprocket hash mark,
lined it up at the valve cover wedge, looked down, saw the hash mark
on the crank pully, it liked up perfectly with the arrow on the
plastic cover.

soo..dang where does this leave me?

I guess i need to gas analyze the overflow tank for a headgasket
leak? only thing is it was running great before i hosed down the
engine bay (covering alt, dist, +) like ive done prob 20 times. So
i thought i fried something like the dist. or electrical, which i
still think it is since its just running 'rough'

guess i'll go double check for spark at each plug. because it really
feels like its running on 3 cyls..well the lack of power and rough,
very rough idle.
