Hey 16Vers, I happen to just walk in from replacing my distributor. My 16V has been out of commission for a while and won't start and I have been trying different things in my spare time. So far I have replaced the ignition coil (with a used one) and the distributor (with a new one). I now suspect a fuel problem. The main fuel line to the fuel distributor sprays fuel when cranking but when I loosen the bolts to the injector lines - nothing comes out. I wonder if the fuel distributor is bad.
Anyone have any tips on testing fuel delivery and how to troubleshoot it? I looked through the Bentley but I didn't see any fuel troubleshooting tips in there. thanks all. glad to see some life in this list.

The old one leaked oil, and I thought once the new one was in, that would take care of it. It sure didn't...still leaks! How do I fix that leak? What will I need for parts? I didn't want to tear into it until I know I've got everything, so I can do it all at once & get it done.Thanks! Loren '88 Jetta GLI 1.8L 16V '03 Beetle
