Auxilliary Air valve ARRRGGGGHHHH

Jeeze Cath, you almost have a new car!

I am suggesting a change to the DSM4 (psych diagnostic manual) do to these 
cars

"Scirocco; A severe form of masochism."

>What I have done so far:
>New wiring to alternator which was not putting out squat (It's fine now)
>New fuel pump relay
>New wires/plugs to AAV and WUR (on same connector under the dash)
>Connector inspected, looks minty fresh (It's just flat metal anyway)
>New dedicated grounds for both devices direct to negative battery terminal
>New (fused) wire from battery positive direct to terminal 30 of FPRelay
>(eliminated bypass)
>New red and yellow wire from FPR to connector to WUR and AAV
>AAV replaced with one that closes visually when hooked up to 12V
>Tested 13.2 V at plug for AAV (car running)
