_________________________ UPDATE: __________________________

VW TECHS,I recieved many respones all very helpful.As
suggested ground on drivers side of engine was broken and
about to break apart under AC compressor.Repaired,and
cleaned all grounds in engine compartment.Engine started
and ran pumping gas out of tailpipe untill stall.As a
little background,I am not the tech doing the work so some
of my testing may be incomplete!All sensors have been
tested and or replaced.ECM was shipped to NAPA test center
and tested OK.I have a bad feeling that the ECM IS INDEED
BAD.Any insights,suggestions,or tips would be
helpful.THANKS IN ADVANCE! JERRY

light,however no switching takes place.Sent ECM to NAPA, of
course,no problem found.I have tested all relative power
and grounds,all good.I am sure I am missing somthing
basic.THANKS IN ADVANCE! JERRY
