This is my first volkswagen I've ever worked on before. The
owner complained of a hard start. He replaced relays from
corrosion and then the fuel pump would not shut off when
key on. The injectors are not pulsating when cranking, and
now the fuel pump does not run at all when key on.
Electrically the van is o.k. I replaced the fuel regulator,
it was sticking, thought the was the cause. I pretty sure
that the controller is fried. What I need to know is, if
the hall switch is bad in the distributer, will it still
get spark? i'm getting spark, just no pulsation. Help is
really appreciated here. Thanks
