Re: weird ass fuel? no combustion? problem.

["Wing Gee" <winggee@hotmail.com>]

yeah these are brand new plugs. i just changed them today. that was the
first thing i tried. as for the injectors. i pulled the 2nd and 3rd one out.
the 3rd one was all screwed up, once the flow plate rises all the way, it
would leak out of some weird hole. ok so i change that, the 2nd one seems
kinda weird, i change that as well.. put everything back, same problem. i'll
pull the plugs in the morning and torch them to clean it up just to be sure.
the car sounds like a lawnmower right now heh.

*yawn* sleep time for me, midterm in the morning.. d'oh i like the scirocco
so much, i didn't start studying yet.. oh well.. heh.. there's scirocco love
for ya.

Thanks

Wing
