Subject:Re: Was: Leaky ... fuel injector? Now: suck fuel/air through vaccum side of fuel regulator?

No, there should be no "flow" thru the regulator.

  The injectors were the same for a bunch of car Makes, not just models, for a group of years. Should work without issue.

  The AUTOMATIC trans starter may be the same, but I don't know about the manual trans version... ...don't remember which you need, tho. Vanagon may be Vanagon all the way through, if a different bell housing was used from the loaf bus set-up.

  Hi all.

One thing Dennis kindly directed me toward was the fuel pressure
regulator. By my own, uh, "cleverness", I sucked on the vacuum hose
attached to regulator. I could suck air/bit of gas through this hose.
(gas tastes oh so good. My first sampling!)

There shouldn't be any air coming through the hose right?

And....

Will air cooled injectors fit on the 1.9 WBX?

Will an air cooled starter work with the WBX tranny/engine?

Thanks for any answers/confirmations.

Neil.
