doesnt look like the plug on my gfs 1.3 polo, but then i dunno what it should look like on a mk2 spi  :grin:
it wont do any harm driving with it unplugged, the ECU will switch to a base map., We had it unplugged for a week on our 1.3 polo, made a big difference to performance.

Tried driving with the plugg disconnected, but couldn't notice any difference.
The distributor cap I got isn't a vw original, maybe I should try a genuine part?
I'm really running out of things to check :smiley:

The guy at the genuine vw store said that changing the distributor cap probably woundn't fix my problem, told me to leave it as it is.
He said that most old vw engines don't run smooth att all, and to find the fault would be close to impossible  :laugh:.

Does anybody know how to increase the idle rpm on an rp mono-jetronic engine?
Is there a screw to I could adjust?
