What kind of engine does a 1978 VW Super Beetle have?
1978 VW Super Beetle 1600cc fuel injected. Car has a history of running poorly, and could not exceed 10mph when driving. It starts fine, idles rough, shakes, and with any acceleration, dies.
When do you inject fuel in a beetle?
The cold- start valve also energizes as the starter cranks. Cold start is under the control of the thermo-time switch. The cold start valve will only inject fuel if the temperature is low enough to require it and the injection will cease after a preset time due to heating of the thermo-time switch during cranking.
What causes a VW Beetle to die at idle?
It starts fine, idles rough, shakes, and with any acceleration, dies. Spraying gasoline directly into the air intake boot during idle makes the engine rev higher and smoother, suggesting a fuel/air mixture problem (seen later in the video). ~ 0:30 seconds, acceleration causes the engine to die.
Why does the fuel pump automatically shut off in a beetle?
The holding circuit has a resistor built into the relay enclosure which provides sufficient current to keep CR1 energized. This circuit provides a safety feature in that the fuel pump will automatically shut off if the engine stalls. In addition, turning ON the ignition does not start the pump.
