'84 engine install update w/ questions.....

[UrGTI@aol.com (UrGTI@aol.com)]

My car used to do the tach dance too. I went and cleaned all grounds and 
surfaces with contact spray and emery cloth. Then added a ground right to the 
fusebox from the battery and a second one to the engine using the cool double 
nutted tranny bolt that come on Golfs
Are you saying the fuel pump does not run during cranking? I never had anyone 
listen for sure but I think it turns on for a few seconds with the key on to 
build pressure then waits for a tach signal to start up again. Since the main 
injectors dont open until its running anyway I think the fuel pump is on the 
load reduction circut. You could have also another bad relay, sometimes they 
only work a little bit then quit when they get warmed up inside. For 
troubleshooting sake you can jumper it and see if it runs like that.
