Re: Got fuel,got spark. Won't start

["Daniel Brideau" <dan@hobbyetc.com>]

Once, my car would not start.  The problem was the air flow sensor plate had
stuck in the wide open position, flooding the motor before it would start. I
poked it down with my finger and it was fine ever since.

A second time it would not start, I added an auxiliary ground strap from the
battery to the mounts for the coil.

Both times the VW started immediately.

Good luck.
