Hey!I have so far replaced teh plugs(dropped a new plug in
the #2 tin and my spark-plug socket in #1 tin and can't
find!  ;-0 will deal withy later) and wires....installed my
spare good distributor, cleaned out tyhe mass airflow
sensor....etc..
I started it up, and it ran great for a minute, than
suddenly went back to barely idling, and on giving the gas,
doing nothing.
I can't check the bently as it's still in Texas(getting
mailed today) I removed the little black majic box that is
atttached to the dist and the other black thingie on a
countersink labeled hugo after cleaning out the box with
contact cleaner, i realized the in and out terminals ar3e
male/female, so for kicks connected and bypassed teh box.
It started up and ran great!
so...what is this box and what does it do? can I run the
van with bypassing it, or will it cause worse problems?

any help will be great as I am just re-learning the vw
stuff after being away since before the electronic stuff.

Paul
