hi shaun thats the one all right i am not getting fuel down the injectors i am getting fuel just in ignition prime (cold start bit)
so ive read its a big problem on k jet engines but not read any cures for this can you help cheers mark

Ok so you have a mk1 engine in a mk1 then  :grin:  You have the typical K-jet fuelled GTI engine for your information.

I have to keep popping to your other post for more info on what you have done so far....  You mentioned that petrol is coming out of the 2 injectors that go below the spark plugs... there are none there,  there are 5 in total, 4 at the back of the intake manifold (one of which Wayne was asking you to check for fuel) and one at the O/S of it (cold start valve)..... to help educate yourself a little before you do anything else, have a read and look at the pictures in this.. CLICK! ... you will find it very useful!

K jet has no ecu, check all fuses and go from there.

I always though k-jets had ecus. Or is it just the mk2 k-jets that do?
Neway have you checked the wires from cold start valve and traced back. This is if fuses didn't help

Nope no ecu on 8v's, it is a mechanical based system, very simple.

I believe the 16v had a ecu however

I knew it was mechanical based just wondered for 8valves as my 16 does have one be it very basic.
