Take it from someone who has been there and then some. You're doing well man. Be glad for the injuries you don't have. The human body can survive and heal from an amazing amount of abuse. Being home and out of the hospital will make you feel tremendously better. Take care.

So your justification for theft is that "they didn't need it as much as you did"? That's pretty sad, and it's even more sad that you don't understand why it is sad... Notice how nobody else is laughing?

Great vid JJ (even if it is paced for someone who is developmentally challenged.)

Get out an ohmmeter, unplug your harness at the ECU and do a resistance test on the B+ wire to start with. Do the same on your grounds - I've seen grounds that "look" perfect but fail a resistance test.

I know you said you checked your alternator, battery and grounds, but this really does sound like a systematic problem. I'd suspect grounds before anything else. Double check everything before you start messing with the ECU. I'll almost guarantee you've got a larger issue that you need to deal...

Have you eliminated the possibility of a systematic problem that you need to address? In other words, how are the voltages at other critical systems? Do you have ample power to the fuel pumps? What about the coils? Provided all of that is ok, and you've isolated it to just the ECU: I'd use...

Nobody said you're a jerk for trying to play, so don't get your Napoleon Complex driven panties in a bunch. As I stated I love the MKII. It's a fantastic piece of machinery, and considering the age of its design, it's held up well. Moreover anyone who improves, restores or maintains a MKII...

Not that 14" wheels, high profile tires and a 1970's style suspension contribute to a lack of traction or anything... I love the MKII, but claiming that it is in anyway mechanically superior to the MKIII is ludicrous.

And HOT heat!

Guys, zip it with potentially dangerous advice. There's a good chance you're going to get him thrown in jail. If this car is considered stolen, he can be charged with receipt of stolen property. (Not knowing it is stolen isn't much of a defense. No title - no ownership) There's not enough...

Tanya, that's smart. Necessity (and apparently you) is the mother of invention. :)

The only reason to improve flow on the return side is when you have increased flow on the feed side to the point where the existing FPR and return lines cannot manage fuel pressure effectively anymore. Think guys - this is not rocket science.

Take a step back and think about this: What is the reason for this "mod"? Does it improve performance? No. Does it correct a flaw in the design? No. It's done for cosmetics. With that said, what's the down side? Venting flammable gasses. Pollution. (you all know I'm no tree hugger) Simply...

I just cleared the pending flame war out of this thread. Back on topic and keep it civil people.
