My money's on the ECU being fine, and it being a wiring issue between ECU and injectors.

ECU made it a lot better, firing on 4 and running alright, still not there though.

Lost interest in it and flogged it to the guy with the ecu who breaks em!

Thanks for all the advice guys, sadly it was just too annoying in the end

That's what 2.1's are all about!! Annoying - but a crime to crack.

I'm not particularly bothered by a late 80's work van no.

I have eight vw's ranging from 61 to 77, bay window vans and beetles to spend my time and money on, but thanks for the heads up on my "old car" preferences.
