Fuse Box Help!

**XXX-1.8T** · 30-09-2006, 01:14 AM

Hi as u know I had probs with my brake lights it turns out it was the fuse not in properly.

Then when i checked again today they werent working so i mucked around with it and got them to work.

Now the car wont start and if it does it feels like its running on 2 cylinders

The car idles at 500rpm when it used to idle at 950. The car goes like a snail so im guessing i stuffed up a fuse

Which one would it be?

Which one controls engine or spark?

really pissed

No fuses for engine/spark.

You might have bumped the vaccum hose off the ECU while you were under the bonnet? Easy to do!

Its a Mk1 Andrew.

I reckon a wire or a vacuum line under the bonnet.

Check aroiund the carby area.

But the K/jetronic has a vaccum hose to the box Loon. I bumped it off in a rally once. Idled ok but lost power. Correct me if I am wrong though.
