|
|
The cable broke, so I started the Rabbit then took a screwdriver behind the injection pump and lifted up the cold start to see if that part worked. I didn't notice any difference in the way it was running or idling. Does that mean that not only the cable is broken, but the cold start itself doesn't function? How would I know and is it a big fix just curious. Luckily, he's been starting up every morning without being plugged in. _________________ Daren

If it's not sitting on the edge of clackity you might not notice a difference in sound.
Sometimes the engine will run rough at cold start,..
then smooth out when the cold start cable is pulled. _________________ '91 Golf gasser converted to turbo diesel.
