and as far as getting a lot of stuff done in one night, I feel pretty good. I got all of the essential wiring hooked up. Gauges, check engine light, and a cou[le other things can wait. I put gas in it, turned the key, it cranked, and nothing. Checked, hooked a couple relays up wrong. Turned the key, fuel pump comes on and shuts off, like it's supposed to. Cranked, nothing. got pwer at ignition coil but no spark. Fuel pump not coming on while cranking. So, it sounds like I'm not getting a signal from the crankshaft position sensor.

 

Well, I broke that sensor up when I tried to take it out. It's steel body corroded in the aluminum block, which made removing the sensor a half hoour job, using things like a cordless drill, cold chisel, and hammer. There wasn't much left. Got on http://www.1stsubaruparts.com and ordered a sensor. $183.00. Ouch! Well if it fixed the problem.

 

This is all in reference to the EJ22 VW Beetle, BTW.

Here's an old pic, in case people haven't seen it. I'd take new pictures, but my digicam grew legs.
