    Ok, so I had my VW guy take a look at it... He told me its probably an injector sticking open with a fault somewhere in the wiring harness. I pulled the blink codes and got an "injector #3" code, so today I'm gonna pull the intake manifold and check the harness. He also said it sounds like the timing might be off too, so I may as well pull the valve cover and check while I have it apart. I'll follow up once I get it put back together...

    I see. Makes sense... I just talked to a guy (who runs a VW specialty shop) coming out to look at it this week, hopefully he can help narrow it down and save me some time.

    I think I'm going to have to hit the junkyard and find another ECU, maybe swap it back to the original distributor setup... I had no idea about the different injectors for EGR vs non-EGR, maybe that's part of my problem too?!? I really appreciate you taking the time to provide detailed information, cheers.

    Basically, I bought a vr6 from a 95 golf It came with a distributor, but it apparently had no EGR from the factory... The port coming off the TB for the EGR was absent, so it hadn't been deleted. (My Bentley manual says that some 1995s didnt have EGRs, others did.) Anyway I couldnt obtain the ECU for this engine. Later I got a crazy good deal on a rusty Jetta GLX parts car, also a 1995... (It DID have an EGR, but had a coilpack instead of the dizzy) So I had to use the ECU from this junk Jetta. Since I was stuck using the ECU from a coilpack engine I converted the Golf engine t

    Thanks for the input. However, like I said earlier, the only parts of this engine that arent from the same car are the block and head... So shouldn't the ECU already be set to work with the coil and all of the other ignition components present? If not, how would I even go about mapping/adjusting the computer? That is something I've never gotten into. Thanks again.

    Update: I pulled the fuel rail and found that the return line was completely clogged... Cleaned it out, and now the engine will run and sounds fine, HOWEVER: I'm still running rich and fouling 4 of the 6 plugs... Still getting raw gas coming out of the exhaust. Any ideas? Bad fuel injectors?

    I do still have everything for the dizzy, except the ECU. So thats part of the problem, I would need another ECU (I think) This engine has the block and head from a late '95 VR6 with the dizzy and no EGR, and the ECU and wiring harness from an early '95 VR6 with a coilpack and EGR, hence the dizzy to coilpack conversion.

    I could try that... Also the ECU and wiring harness that I have are from an engine that had a coilpack. Will that make a difference?

    Hey folks... I'm new to this forum, but was hoping for a little help. I recently swapped an OBDI 12V VR6 into my 1999 Mk3 Jetta (OBDII, obviously), but I'm keeping the engine OBDI. I converted the VR6 from a dizzy to a coilpack. The engine will start, idle for a few seconds, then die. Strong gas smell, I've even had raw gas coming out of the exhaust. I've checked all my connections, the fuel pressure regulator, IAC valve, TPS, etc. Seem to be correct... I've plugged and unplugged these in a hundred different combinations, but I seem to get the same result no matter what's plugged in or capped
