Folks,
Thanks to all of you who have contacted me privately about my Tiico troubles
over the past few days.  To recap, I am attempting to repair an '87 Westy on
which a Tiico conversion was performed many months and several thousand
miles ago.  It ran well until parked one day, then refused to start the
next.  The engine turns over normally, but doesn't even try to start.  After
only a few seconds of cranking, it is easy to smell gas by the engine.  A
spark plug was removed, grounded to the block, and a spark was observed
jumping the gap regularly while cranking the engine.  Various electrical
connections in the engine compartment such as the Oxygen sensor and fuel
injectors were re-seated.  The two fuses in the wiring harness next to the
ECU were checked and appear fine.  The ECU connector appears to be seated.
I have run out of ideas, but have a good selection of hand tools, a digital
multimeter, jumper wires, Bentley, and the Tiico installation guide.  I did
not do the conversion myself, nor am I very familiar with the VW I4 engine
in general, or the Tiico fuel system in particular.  I would appreciate
detailed advice from any listees who are mechanically inclined, especially
if they are familiar with this particular engine.  Anyone willing to stand
by and talk me thru trouble-shooting procedures by telephone would be
especially helpful.  Thank you very much (in advance)!!!

Best,

Chris
'87 Westy Tiico
