dubbprince 0 Posted January 28, 2004 how do people...i'm pretty sure i asked this in an older post, but now i've lost it. So the problem is: I removed the spark lead furthest left of the 16v block and now i can't get the thing back on! I've noticed a plastic white thing (possibly the suppressor) inside around the spark plug. Is this the reason i can't push the lead back onto it? Do i remove this and place it back inside the lead and try again...i'm pretty sure its not meant to be like this. BUt i don't know what the inside of the lead should look like...this is the first time i've ever taken off a lead. ALSO- what is the grey round plastic thing which connects under the air pipe (what would be replaced by a Power Rohr)...it has a 2pin connector plug on it...well it was undone from the air pipe. Would that be the reason why i can't start?? I've cleaned out my ISV, and its attaching hoses...just need this lead back on. and try that. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would that be the reason why i can't start?? That bit you are talking about cuts off the fuel on the overrun. When the valve inside is open, air flows thru it rather than the metering unit. That causes the flap to drop and stop the injectors. Were you having the running for a couple of seconds and cutting out? I have done that to myself before with the servo vacuum pipe. The massive airleak stops the car running, except with the big shot of fuel from the 5th injector. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubbprince 0 Posted January 28, 2004 a haaa!!! Thanks ever so much gavin...i knew it could of been that! Right now all i need to do is get me lead back on and we should be away.

dubbprince 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Gavin..i attached that grey thing back up, put the cleaner ISV back on...and pulled the rubber suppressor out and back into the lead again. CAR IS BACK!!! Now just need a wing...and a new tyre from jay renshaw. Maybe a new holeless airbox too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Hi there, do you still have those wierd Hella leads on your car, I'm sure they're not Golf/Corrado 16v ones, never had any problem with OEM type leads no matter how many times I've plugged and un-plugged them, seem to last about 6 years before deteriorating beyond their resistance limits, although the coil lead goes well before the others.
