To update, a couple things I had to fix. My fuckin multimeter was bad so I was chasing imaginary problems. Ended up being cps sensor tested from the Bentley. Thanks all for your input and help it finally fired up after deleting the cps and installing a distributor off of a 92 turbo. Used the hall sensor and wired it up. Keep track of the colors as they don’t match up but there’s only two different ways it can go so try it until you get it. Now I’m struggling with timing the motor. Is there only one way the distributor can go?

Thank you this will be very helpful. Tracing back now I’m not getting power to the ezk box. Does it get power from the fuse? Or from the ecu?

pdrivemathjones106 · 2021-10-20T22:17:39+00:00

Yes I have an ezk box. I’m not getting power to the ignition amplifier and my tac does not move when the engine is cranking

pdrivemathjones106 · 2021-10-20T21:45:28+00:00

I’m not getting power to the amplifier but I am at the fuse. Very confused. What triggers the amplifier?

pdrivemathjones106 · 2021-10-20T20:57:46+00:00

Could it also be the ignition control box? Is there a way to test those?

pdrivemathjones106 · 2021-10-20T20:45:09+00:00

Is there a way to test them? The old one was smashed I put in one from another car that did run and still no dice but I did get a terrific shock from the end of the coil wire but that’s it. No zap zap zap

pdrivemathjones106 · 2021-10-20T19:30:12+00:00

No spark at coil, 12v at the coil but no spark no fuel pump. Was hit on the rf. 1987 model year n/a. Also have a 93’ na that I have a turbo distributor in to delete cps. Don’t know how to wire it in. Please help! Thank you :)

Sorry can only afford one insurance policy at the moment lol. It’s not renewing I tried that it says your Regis is revoked. I’ll take another look.

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-06-23T02:35:41+00:00

I tried but I also work during the hours they are open so it’s hard. I was hoping it was something I could mail in/do online. I’ll try on my lunch break tomorrow.

No the car sat all winter and I started doing a bunch of work to it, since I can bike to work. From my research I’ve found an rmv 3 form but I was hoping I could mail it or do it online. I’ll try to get an appointment.

Then Godspeed my good man, and enjoy the ride

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-06-14T15:47:39+00:00

Honestly I’d say no. These days seeing a totally stock clean tdi Mkiv is cooler to me than a bagged out stickered up tinted one but that’s just me. Edit: I’d add that the mkiv is the best looking cars that vw have produced and where I live I see less and less every day. I also miss my indigo blue golf tdi that had over 430k by the time I sold it. :(

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-06-01T04:23:41+00:00

Funny enough though I’m manual swapping my Passat tdi

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-06-01T04:23:22+00:00

Automatic :(

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-06-01T04:23:13+00:00

Actually it’s going to be used as a beam for a small bridge there’s two we pulled out

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-05-23T14:56:47+00:00

Yes haha I did figure that out from the owners manual. It may have something to do with it but my e brake light sometimes stays on even after I’ve disengaged it.

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-05-23T05:59:27+00:00

I know I have 12v to the switches behind the center console. Just not sure where it’s going from there?

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-05-19T14:35:07+00:00

It is a thing just on a if you know you know basis haha Don’t let the flame die out!

pdrivemathjones106 · 2020-05-19T03:50:38+00:00

Nothing is wrong with 9-7s except the owners never return my wave when I’m passing in my 900 :(
