My Scirocco doesn't want to come out of winter hibernation yet

[jrringha at adobe.com (John Ringham)]

Oh yeah it cranks like crazy. I keep it on a trickle charger. Ran
perfectly before I put it away last fall. I don't keep it at my house,
so I'll check this weekend. Thanks.

John

Assuming the battery's good...and there is fuel to pump...I'd be doing
my rounds of "wiggling", the fuel pump relay, check connections on the
critical stuff, like main grounds, wires to the battery itself (see that
terminal wires are snug) , the ignition coil wires, and the big fat ones
on the cap, starter wires, anything electrical that could completely
disable the car. Does it even try to crank? Cathy
