Volkswagen: 76 VW beetle F.I., brain box, hot wire

Question
  I have a fuel injected bug that stopped running it seemed to not be getting fuel, but I checked the fuel pump and it is good. The bug will start up but dies right away.  I checked the wires to the pump and it is not getting any juice so I am thinking that brain box is not working properly.  Is there any sensor that would cause this, I ran a hot wire to the pump but it still just starts up and dies.

Answer
Hi Don,


Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

This sounds like the no. 3 temp sensor.  It is located in the back of the engine on the number 3 cylinder.

You can purchase a new one for about 20.00 at
www.busdepot.com

This should start you moving along.

Thanks,

Ron
