>>    Hello, still no progress...BUT-
>>
>>     Some good news-  borrowed a compression tester.  All values 
>>fell within spec for a _new_ motor, at 135k!  VW rules.
>>
>>     The actual update:  Verified Timing with a probe to indicate TDC 
>>in #1.  No problem there (too bad, really...)
>>
>>      Had another look at injector flow.  Following a tip from 
>>Techtonics Tuning I compared the delivery volume at two different 
>>levels of MAF lift.  There was a small difference in flow for the #1 
>>injector at full lift, but it was 10% or less-  Insufficient for the 
>>symptom, which is no power, unable to reach redline in the damn 
>>driveway...  Also (according to TT) an indicator that the fuel 
>>distributor is _not_ the problem, as indicated by the shop I went to 
>>for service...
>>
>>     Put a timing light on each cylinder in sucession and had my 
>>girlfriend point it at me while I was in the driver seat flooring the
>>throttle.  Saw nothing out of the ordinary, even when the engine was 
>>sputtering.  To be fair, past 3500-4000 rpm the light was pretty much 
>>on all the time so I don't know if there is anything here...
>>
>>     Tried to get the cold-start valve to flow yesterday.  No fuel 
>>whatsoever came out, so there could be a problem here.  It is 
>>responsible for high-rpm enrichment, but I don't know if it's lack of 
>>function would be sufficient for the above problem.
>>
>>     While she floored it and the problem was in evidence I wiggled 
>>the Hall sender connector.  No change...
>>
>>     Had a suggestion that the injector seals might be bad.  They're 
>>new.
>>
>>     I am trying to arrange to borrow a used distributor (hall 
>sender) 
>>and various brains, and I guess I will have to embark on all of the 
>>thrilling electrical tests in the bently.
>>
>>     New O2 sensor should arrive this week.  I'll borrow the blue 
>>wrench and install it ASAP.
>>
>>     Any suggestions?
>>
>>
>>
>>Robert, so frustrated by his German machinery that he is driving an 
>>Integra with crappy brakes, worn struts, bad tires and no shifter 
>>feel.
