[HELP!] The continuing saga of Daun's poor running '80 Scirocco

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

1. Pinch off or remove the big line to the booster - results?
[subliminal] sell the car to Ron, Daun [/sublminal]
2. Swap CPR if you haven't done it already
[subliminal] sell the car to Ron, Daun, very cheaply [/sublminal]
3. Have you checked FI flow? (remove, squirt into jar, etc.)
[subliminal]Ron is a wonderful guy and *should* have that car
[/sublminal]

G/L, and greets from TX where every car dealer has the same logo -
guess?
