EGR VALVE!
Okay so I found that supposively the "egr" wire has a screw shoved in
it, and at the dist cap where theres usually a thing there (checked my freinds mk2 out) is missing, would this cause the engine to not run properly, also there is a small hole drilled in the air box near the gas dis, someones obviously been playing with the car. Anyways the car starts runs for about a minute then slowly dies, woudl this be the problem, and if you try to go in gear underload forget it. |

The screw is shoved in the entrance that would normally go into where the dist cap is, but that part is missing. |

It sounds like someone just eliminated the egr system and this probably is not the problem. Does the fuel pump in the gas tank run? Take the cap off and put your ear to the filler tube and have somebody turn the key to the run position. The power wire to that pump also supplies power to make your fuel gauge work. |

It sounds like they disconnected the timing advance and the egr vacuum
control. The timing advance would not affect your idle, or starting, the egr could make a crappy idle, loss of power, overheating, or poor gas mileage. It depends on if the vacuum opens or closes the egr valve, and if the washer is missing inside the egr valve. but it would still start. The egr wire is probably a vacuum line. All vacuum lines must be plugged or hooked up, If you put your finger on the end while the car is running , if it sucks your finger it is a vacuum line. There will be no vacuum with the car off. Also see if there is a vacuum drawing on the car under the hood which shows where the lines go to. A leak or open line will make your car run crappily and could affect starting. The hole in the air box is not important. > wrote in message ... > On 23 Mar 2007 12:33:58 -0700, "the_lower_class_brat" > > > wrote: > >>On Mar 23, 3:32 pm, "the_lower_class_brat" > wrote: >>> Okay so I found that supposively the "egr" wire has a screw shoved in >>> it, and at the dist cap where theres usually a thing there (checked my >>> freinds mk2 out) is missing, would this cause the engine to not run >>> properly, also there is a small hole drilled in the air box near the >>> gas dis, someones obviously been playing with the car.

It's not in the air box exactly though, it's on the metal that on top of it, that the fuel dist plugs into. What color wire goes to the dist?I got 2 and if I change them it makes no difference |

So this makes me to believe that this is the problem. Also I get some sort of ping clickety sound once and a while, sounds like an engine knock but I'm not sure. |

wrote: The picture i posted is very typical of all hall sensors. the plug with the terminals is what you should see/have at the base of your distribtor. Three wires going from that plug ( on the dist. ) to the electonic ignition module ( pins 3, 5 , 6 ). Out of pin 1 of the electronic ignition module a green/black wire goes to terminal 1 on your coil. The other yellow wire on your coil goes to your ignition switch. |
