Well while waiting for my MJ to come in I started the car to see if I"m getting the 10 degrees btc. in limp mode (VW horizontally opposed cylinder firing order 1-4-3-2) Well at first nothing, no problem VR polarity was backwards...tried again and it started but ran ruff, like running on 2 cylinders (a/f gauge was way off the charts lean)...yep sure enough #1 and #2 pipes were hot #3 and #4 were cold....checked for spark....WOW and what a spark, checked for fuel and yep that carb is squirting fuel...anything I'm missing ?

It's funny, if you navigate around long enough you'll get the answer you need....it appears I was going by the numbers on the coil as cylinder #'s ....I had #1 and #4 firing on the same coil and #2 and # 3 together on the other....well well now I know better, but I finally figured it out....go ahead rib me I can take it

Glad to hear you have it sorted. The good thing about your posting is it will help someone else with the same problem.

Good for you, my VR was reversed also. I did luck into the correct firing order, though.
